Advance Banners English Warfare in the Fifteenth Century
ADVANCE BANNERS In set battles in the Middle Ages, English commanders almost never yelled “charge” or “attack”. They exhorted their men to move forward against the enemy battle line with the command of either “banners forward”, or “advance banners”. This had significant meaning in England during the Middle Ages. This is the second of a three-volume set. The first volume of this narrative began in 1397, which is distinctly not part of the fifteenth century. But in order to understand the Lancastrian revolution, and what motivated the man who would become Henry IV, it is necessary to understand a little about his predecessor, and the tyranny that Richard II promoted. So, Volume...
Charles Lee
Dominick Mazzagetti presents an engaging account of the life of Charles Lee, the forgotten man of the American Revolution. History has not been kind to Lee—for good reason. In this compelling biography, Mazzagetti compares Lee’s life and attributes to those of George Washington and offers significant observations omitted from previous Lee biographies, including extensive correspondence with British officers in 1777 that reflects Lee’s abandonment of the Patriots’ cause. Lee, a British officer, a veteran of the French and Indian War, and a critic of King George III, arrived in New York City in 1773 with an ego that knew no bounds and tolerated no rivals.

Fifteenth Century England a Comprehensive Chronology
This is the first volume (of what will likely be four volumes) of a comprehensive chronological history of fifteenth century England. It begins in 1397, a necessary prelude to the rise of Henry IV, and carries through to 1509 and the death of Henry VII. The series includes inter-related chronologies of Scotland, Wales, Ireland, France, Burgundy and Brittany. Volume I covers from 1397 and the last few years of the reign of Richard II, through the entire reigns of Henry IV and Henry V, and ends a few months into the reign of Henry VI (1422). In the process, it covers wars, usurpations, land and naval battles, parliaments and great council meetings, and the lives and deaths of many hundreds of prominent English, Welsh, Scottish, Irish, French, Burgundian and Breton persons.
Advance Banners
This book, and its companion volumes, explore English Warfare in the fifteenth century. As such, it describes, where possible, the planning, logistics, preparation, and execution for both individual battles and sieges, as well as entire campaigns. It involves both internal warfare within England itself (civil war), as well as the English fighting in Wales, Scotland, Ireland, France, Burgundy and Brittany. The narrative begins in 1397, which is distinctly not part of the fifteenth century. But in order to understand the Lancastrian revolution, and what motivated the man who would become Henry IV, it is necessary to understand a little about his predecessor, and the tyranny that Richard II pro...
