  • Numerous battles that took place during the Middle Ages are well known. The Battle of Hastings in 1066, for example, has been studied from nearly every angle. In addition to looking at the details of the conflict itself, historians and the general public continue to assess its influence on culture and politics alike.
    Many people have the same type of interest in battles fought during the Scottish Wars of Independence, those that took place during the Hundred Years' War, and all kinds of crusading efforts throughout the medieval period. Alongside the best-known battles are numerous little-known skirmishes and conflicts. No less full of carnage and heroism, these fights and their overall impact on life and death during the Middle Ages have been overlooked.

    07:29. The Battle on the Ice is the climax of Russian film Alexander Nevsky, by Sergei Einsestein (1938). You can see Russia was preparing to war when the movie was edited.
    Also, the soundtrack by Sergei Prokofiev became a cantata. The charge of the Teutonic Knights is thrilling - a cavalry charge in music.
    (Look for the video "BBC Proms 2011 Prokofiev Alexander Nevsky." It's the best charge in music I have seen.)
