The Armies of England, Scotland, the United Provinces, and the Spanish Netherlands 1487-1609 (Hardcover, Illustrated Ed)

During the reigns of Henry VII, Henry VIII, and Elizabeth I England was involved in a constant series of conflicts with Ireland and Scotland, and frequently sent expeditions to the territories now known as Belgium and the Netherlands to keep the Spanish and French at bay. Based entirely on contemporary drawings and accounts, Ian Heath has assembled 123 drawings of soldiers and 105 drawings of flags of the period. This book is of exceptional value to wargamers, re-enactors, Renaissance fairgoers, military artists and general readers fascinated with this period. Includes extensive bibliography.
