Charles the Bold in Italy, 1467-1477 is the definitive study of the last reigning Duke of Burgundy's relations with the Italian states. Charles's dealings with Italy have been studied previously, but this book—bolstered by Richard Walsh's extensive research in European archives—is by far the most comprehensive examination of Charles the Bold's military, diplomatic, and economic relations with the subcontinent. Charles the Bold in Italy will be indispensable to scholars of French and Italian history and diplomacy.
Werner Paravinici
"The subject is magnificent, the study supported with archival research of exceptional breadth and depth, its mastery virtually perfect." --Werner Paravicini
