Offers an in-depth examination of John Hawkwood, an influential English mercenary captain in fourteenth-century Italy. It details his military career, from his early days as a soldier in France and as part of the White Company in Italy, to his leadership roles serving various Italian city-states and the Pope. The text also explores his personal life, including his family, landholdings in both Italy and England, and his significant financial earnings, which are presented as comparable to the revenues of minor states. Furthermore, the document provides context on the broader mercenary culture of the period, discussing contractual agreements, the structure of military companies, and the economic and social impact of these forces on Italian society.
