Game of Thrones and the Medieval Art of War Paperback / softback
by Ken Mondschein
Paperback / softback
Description
The success of George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire novels and HBO's Game of Thrones series underscores the perennial popularity of medieval history-or rather ""medievalism,"" the idea of the Middle Ages.
Medievalist movies, books and video games are lucrative property in the multi-billion-dollar entertainment industry, and Renaissance fairs, reenactment groups and historical martial arts clubs have become prominent in pop culture.
Yet actual medieval history-especially medieval military history-remains a niche subject of scholarship.
This book, written by an historian and medieval martial arts expert, explains how Martin's fantasy world reflects real history.
