Infantry Warfare in the Early Fourteenth Century
Discipline, Tactics, and Technology
This study departs from the conventional view of the dominance of cavalry in medieval warfare: its objective is to establish the often decisive importance of infantry. In pursuit of evidence, Kelly DeVries examines the role of the infantry, and the nature of infantry tactics, in nineteen battles fought in England and Europe between 1302 and 1347. In most of these battles it was the infantry which secured victory. Evidence from first-hand accounts of the battlesa major feature of this studyis employed to argue that victory came not because of superior technology, even when the longbow was used, but due to a solid and disciplined infantry line making a defensive stand able to withstand the attacks of opposing soldiers, whether cavalry or infantry.
KELLY DEVRIES teaches medieval history and the history of technology at Loyola College in Maryland.
