Paper Abstract
This 7 page report discusses a number of the aspects associated with military strategy and fighting techniques of the Middle Ages. Military engagements during the middle ages were neither haphazard melees nor glorified jousting contests between knights, as is commonly believed. While well-trained knights were important in battle, so were foot-soldiers and their commanders. The early modern period saw a new age in warfare, marked by the greater efficiency and tactics of the standing armies and by the prevalence of sieges. Bibliography lists 7 sources.
