Excerpt from Charles De Bourbon, High Constable of France, the Great Condottiere His eldest son Louis followed in his steps and greatly distinguished himself in the service of Louis XII. Was wounded at the siege of Capua and died in the prime of his noble youth. His younger brother, Charles, thus became the male heir of the Bourbon line; a position doubly assured to him later by his marriage with Suzanne de Bourbon, the heiress of the elder branch of the family. From his mother Chiara Gonzaga of Mantua, the young Prince inherited the warlike spirit and genius of a race of Condottieri at the early age of seventeen he followed Louis XII. To the siege of Genoa and already showed signs of the courage and skill which were to make him so famous in later days. At the height of his greatness and glory, we find Charles de Bourbon scarcely second in position to the King himself; holding his own Court and Parliament in the Capital of his great dominions, and so splendid in his magnificence that, at the Field of the Cloth of Gold, Henry VIII. Is said to have exclaimed: If that noble were a subject of mine his head would not remain long upon his shoulders. The Duc de Bourbon was at the very summit of his pride and prosperity when he was smitten from his high estate, and there came upon him that great and terrible downfall - one of the most striking tragedies of history.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Het romandebuut van Georges Perec, De Condottiere, begint als een misdaadverhaal waarin schilderijenvervalser Gaspard Winckler zijn opdrachtgever Anatole Madera vermoordt. Via een zelf gegraven gang vlucht hij vervolgens uit het atelier, waar hij tevergeefs heeft geprobeerd een schilderij van Antonello da Messina te evenaren. Terloops krijgen we te horen over het trieste verleden van Winckler, zijn scholing als vervalser, zijn onderwerping aan het misdaadsyndicaat dat hem emplooi geeft en zijn tamelijk schimmige liefdesaffaires met twee vrouwen. Wanneer hij zich later verschanst bij zijn vriend Streten nemen de gesprekken met hem, cirkelend rond het misdrijf dat hij heeft gepleegd, bij vlagen de vorm aan van een verhoor.

Originally contracted by wealthy Italian city states to protect their assets during a time of ceaseless warring, many condottieri of the Italian peninsula became famous for their wealth, venality and amorality during the 14th and 15th centuries. Some even came to rule cities themselves. Lavishly illustrated with contemporary depictions and original artwork, this title examines the complex military organization, recruitment, training and weaponry of the Condottieri. With insight into their origins and motivations, the author, Dr David Murphy, brings together the social, political and military history of these powerful and unscrupulous men who managed to influence Italian society and warfare for over two centuries.
