The Renaissance

|
The Renaissance is fascinating period of
history, spanning roughly from the 14th-17th Centuries. Though
primarily a cultural movement with a resurgence in art,
science, and literature, as well as an age of great exploration,
it was also a period marred by military conflict as the great
European powers of the time vied for control and dominance.
It was an age of military innovation where the use of gun powder
and cannons first came to prominence and were used alongside the
heavy cavalry from the previous centuries. As such, it is
typically referred to as the "Age of Pike and Shot" as the pike
and the arquebus (musket) were two of the primary weapons of the
period. Though they intend on providing broad coverage of the
period, First Legion has decided to launch the range with the
Battle of Pavia in 1525, the climax of the Italian Wars between
France and the Spanish Empire with the result of Spanish
dominance of the Italian States for the next 200 years.
