This book uncovers the fascinating history of medieval German knights who served as mercenaries in the armies of northern and central Italian city-states during the 14th century.

The author reconstructs the lives and motivations of these knights, who were crucial to the political and military landscape of the time.

It sheds light on the complex political alliances and rivalries of the period and provides a unique glimpse into the lives of these adventurous warriors who left their mark on both their homeland and their adopted country.
