England's Most Renowned Free Company

This is the story of how a band of English mercenaries revolutionized tactics in Italy, came to dominate Renaissance politics, and arguably laid the foundation for the age of the condottieri. It is the story of the White Company and the cunning John Hawkwood—acute general, loyal Englishman, and, most importantly, endlessly avaricious mercenary.
