New. Size: 7.3 x 0.2 x 9.7 inches; Osprey's Campaign title for the climax of the Italian Wars (1494-1559).

King Francis I was captured, and the cream of his nobility slaughtered. France's greatest defeat since Agincourt, the battle dramatically swung the balance of power in Western Europe. 96 pages.
