(the most fearful defeat suffered by a Roman army since Cannae in 216 B.C.) and Marignano (1515 A.D.), the last of the triumphs of the medieval horseman. It was extensively revised and edited by John H. Beeler in 1953 to incorporate many new facts uncovered since the late nineteenth century UR - https://doi.org/10.1515/9781501742828 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9781501742828 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/document/cover/isbn/9781501742828/original ER -
