WDF Xtra #9: Louis XIV's Arms & Armies III
Added 2017-07-16 23:01:00 +0000 UTC[PATRONS] Here we delve into Louis' arms and armies from the perspective of levying contributions, why you needed to a very wealthy man before you considered a life at the head of an army, and what such an army actually looked like when you broke down the numbers. Muskets, battalions, squadrons, artillery - we unwrap all of it, and explain why Louis' armies looked as they did in the latter 17th century. I hope you enjoy it, be sure to let me know what you thought history friends!
