Kurzbeschreibung
The army of Charlemagne and his successors enabled the western Franks to recreate what contemporaries regarded as a 'reborn' western Roman empire. Frankish society was well prepared for war, with outstanding communications drawing together the disparate regions of a large empire. The role of mounted troops, the essential striking force of the Frankish army, is explored here. Alongside it was the impact that new technology, such as stirrups, had on warfare in this period. Illuminating a much-neglected area of history, this book shows how the role of cavalry grew in prestige, as the Carolingian armoured horseman gave way to the knight of the early 10th century.
Synopsis
Charlemagne's army enabled him to create what he and his contemporaries regarded as a 'reborn' Western Roman Empire. Charlemagne revolutionised the organisation, logistics, indoctrination and training of his army. His troops seemed able to fight on indefinitely, even when they were thousands of miles away from Frankish territory. This title explores the role of the cavalry, the essential striking force of Charlemagne's army. In many respects the cavalrymen were the fore-runners of medieval Western European knights, yet the author shows how their recruitment, organisation, armament and tactics were still rooted in the medieval past. This book shows how the Carolingian armoured horseman played an important role in the development of European warfare.

Format:Taschenbuch
This booklet contains war-relevant information about the equvalent of a knight during the late dark age. The colour plates, the heart of every Osprey-booklet, are well-done, picturing actual action. I like Wayne Reynolds' detailed style. The historic information covers many objects, but never goes in depth, never is this the intention of the Warrior-line. A great resource for wargamers, roleplayers and the visual interestet history buff.

Carolingian Cavalyrman
29. März 2007
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
This Osprey Warrior book is an excellent source on the military elite of the Frankish Carolingian Empire, a precursor to medieval France. Inheriting the martial and equine traditions of both the Roman Empire and their barbarian ancestors, these Frankish knights were heavily armed and armored, and went up against a diverse number of foes, including the Vikings, the Avars, and, in classic barbarian/European tradition, each other.
The color plates are by Wayne Reynolds, a relatively new Osprey artist. They are not as detailed as Angus McBride's works, but they suit their purpose and are visually very interesting (I find it hard to criticize any professional artist when I am totally lacking in artistic talent or professional knowledge of illustration).
Five stars for this fine Osprey book. It would be of special interest to those who have read or plan to read the 'Song of Roland'; these are the real men behind that ballad.
