Mercenary Companies And The Decline Of Siena
During the 14th century, Siena was beset by marauders known as "Companies of Adventure", who sold their services during times of war and staged ruinous raids in peacetime. This volume explores the social, cultural and economic impact of these raids, until the fall of the Sienese republic in 1399.
