Book excerpt: This is the first complete biography of one of the most brilliant fifteenth-century monarchs, Alfonso V of Aragon.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A historical analysis of the course of military operations and political machinations in Italy at the turn of the sixteenth century. The First and Second Italian Wars begins with the French conquest of much of Italy. But the French hold collapsed. The second French invasion gained Northern Italy. This time, the French allied with the Pope’s son, Cesare Borgia. Cesare managed to double deal too many people; his efforts ended in disaster. The French agreement with the Spanish allowed them to retake Naples only to be defeated at the Garigliano by the famous general, Gonzalo de Cordoba. These wars were not just another series of medieval fights. These battles were different from what had gone before: the French utilized a new method of artillery transport; the Spanish commander formulated a new system of military unit organization, and Cesare Borgia sought different systems of raising troops and forming states. And all the powers managed to spend vast amounts of money the likes of which no one had imagined before. This was the emergence of the so-called Military Revolution. Praise for The First and Second Italian Wars 1494–1504 “An amazing account of medieval warfare between two of Europe’s principle nations.” —Books Monthly (UK) “This is a fascinating, detailed look at these crucial wars, placing the military campaigns in their political context—the world that inspired the writings of Machiavelli, and you can see where he got his inspiration from!” —History of War
Download or read book History of the Kingdom of Naples 1250 1489 written by Angelo Di Costanzo and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-12-02 with total page 752 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An English translation of a key Italian history of the Kingdom of Naples from the death in 1250 of the German Emperor Frederick II Hohenstaufen who ruled Naples and Sicily, down through the reign of King Ferdinand of Naples in the late 1480s, shortly before Naples became a province of Spain, The author, Angelo di Costanzo (1507-1591), was one of the greatest Italian lyric poets of the 16th Century. Yet he is better remembered for his History which he first published in its entirety in 1581. In his work he describes straightforwardly, event-by-event, the pageant of medieval and renaissance history relating to southern Italy. Through his intimate and detailed account of major events, incidents large and small, battles, conversations, parliamentary debates, diplomatic initiatives and public festivities, he conveys the flavor of medieval and renaissance attitudes to a degree that is so often missing from modern histories. Individual protagonists, emotional struggles, tragedies, triumphs, family ties, and social classes all come into stark relief. Reading the History is a rich experience, akin to applying a strong magnifying glass to resolve colorful detail embedded in the broader story. There is also a moral dimension to the work. Di Costanzo delineates the duplicity, greed, and ruthlessness of kings, princes, nobles, and popes, as well as the suffering of the common people, all against a backdrop of posturing, dissimulation, murder, extortion, betrayal, and pitiless, never-ending, self-serving, cruel, military adventurism. It was a society in which everything was for sale--not only land, titles, money and positions but also sons and daughters, reputations, honor and even spiritual grace. Yet here and there, one can discern occasional examples of integrity, chivalry, character and nobility that shine through. Di Costanzo's History should be particularly useful as a preliminary to Francesco Guicciardini's History of Italy, which begins in the late 1400s when di Costanzo's History of the Kingdom of Naples leaves off, and which di Costanzo at the end of his own work recommends as a sequel.
