Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book tells the story of the brutal conflict between Philip the Good, Duke of Burgundy and his rebellious subjects in the city of Ghent in the mid-15th century. The war, which lasted over two years, laid bare the tensions between emerging nation-states and the free cities of the late medieval period. The author provides a detailed account of the military campaigns, sieges, and atrocities committed by both sides, painting a vivid picture of the brutality of medieval warfare. The book also offers insights into the political and social dynamics of the period, shedding light on how the conflict reflected the struggle between the centralizing power of the state and the desire for local autonomy. The author argues that the Burgundian-Ghent war was not simply a brutal episode in medieval history, but a harbinger of the religious and political struggles that would engulf Europe in the centuries that followed.
