The period 1453 to 1618 connects the High Medieval Period to the Early
Modern Era. Commonly known as the Renaissance, it saw technological
advances and significant social and cultural change. Catholic dominance
was challenged by the rise of the new Protestant religions, and Western
Europe was itself challenged by the rise of the Ottoman Empire. The New
World was discovered and greater links with the East were created. This
period saw the fall of Constantinople to the Turks and the last major
battle of the Hundred Years War, both in 1453. The use of gunpowder and artillery played an
ever-increasing role in war, and this was coupled with the rise of the professional soldier. The
condotierri, landsknecht and janissary were all to march across the battlefields of Europe and
beyond. Army organisation also changed. The mid to late fifteenth century still saw armies based
around the
'lance fournie'
or 'retinue' of the High Medieval Era, formations based around a lord
and his immediate men-at-arms and other supporters. By the mid sixteenth century Italian officers
were fielding their troops in formations known as
'battagliones',
and by the end of the century
the French term
'régiment'
was in common usage. 'From Retinue to Regiment 1453-1618'
examines this period in a broad sweep. It examines the wars and battles through narrative,
as well as looking at the equipment, clothing and logistics involved.
