The English Civil Wars tore families and friendships apart, setting father against son and brother against brother. Raging across England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales, the conflict was the greatest political upheaval in the British Isles in six hundred years, and led directly to the execution of King Charles I in 1649. Keith Dowen tells the absorbing story of the arms and armour of the civil wars, and demonstrates how emerging weaponry contributed to some of the most well-known battles in British history. The book forms part of a series of introductions to aspects of the Royal Armouries' collection of arms and armour. Written by specialists in the field, they are packed full of fascinating information and stunning photography. Royal Armouries is the national museum of arms and armour, with sites at Leeds, the Tower of London and Fort Nelson, Hampshire.

Untangles the extraordinary history of Asante regalia at the Wallace Collection.The Wallace Collection is famed for its Old Master paintings, French decorative arts, and arms and armour. Among these works, however, lies a small group of gold regalia that is of profound spiritual, cultural and artistic importance to Asante, today in Ghana. Taken as part of an indemnity imposed on the kingdom by British forces during the Third Anglo-Asante War in 1874, they were later sold by the crown jeweller Garrard & Co. to London society, including Sir Richard Wallace. This richly illustrated book, written in collaboration with Manhyia Palace Museum, is the first to fully explore the significance of these objects to the Asante people, as well as their history, from Kumasi to a British national museum.

The Field of Cloth of Gold was one of the greatest courtly spectacles of the sixteenth century. A carefully-orchestrated meeting outside Calais between Henry VIII and Francis I, it encapsulated Henry’s imperial ambitions and confirmed the role of the tournament in international diplomacy. Here, Keith Dowen and Scot Hurst reveal the glamour and excitement of the Field of Cloth of Gold. Using surviving artefacts and important archival material, they illustrate how England began the transition from being a small nation on the edge of Europe to becoming a global empire with power and influence. The armour that was created for the event was made possible by Henry VIII’s new armoury at Greenwich and his existing armoury at the Tower of London.Tudor Power and Glory explains the skill of the armourers as they prepared for the tournament, the fighting that took place on horse and on foot, and the significance of the Field of Cloth of Gold as a political event as England and France, two emerging nations of old Europe, took their places on the world stage.
