About This Book
A chronological narrative of late medieval conflicts and politics in France, Italy, and neighbouring realms, recounting royal entries, sieges, battlefield engagements, and the ebb and flow of territorial control. The work describes campaigns in key Italian cities, confrontations with Swiss and coalition forces, the negotiation and rupture of alliances including a major anti-Venetian league, papal and imperial interventions, dynastic marriages and funerals, and episodes of captivity, plague, and local unrest. Organized chapter by chapter, the account blends military reportage with diplomatic and civic detail to trace how successive operations and negotiations reshaped power and possession across the region.
