A Fun Chat with Jason Kingsley about Mounted Combat and other Historical Tidbits

Описание: I had the pleasure of talking to Jason Kingsley of Modern History TV, who has extensive practical experience with horseback riding and armed martial arts, plus extensive knowledge of medieval history. We ended up chatting about what makes mounted combat different from fighting on foot on medieval battlefields, tactics, morale, the strange course of history, and other interesting topics.
