Charles William Chadwick Oman quotes
-
“Every man should arm himself as quickly as he could, and come to the King.”
-- Charles William Chadwick Oman -
“In France those absurd perversions of the art of war which covered themselves under the name of chivalry were more omnipotent than in any other country of Europe. The strength of the armies of Philip and John of Valois was composed of a fiery and undisciplined aristocracy which imagined itself to be the most efficient military force in the world, but which was in reality little removed from an armed mob.”
