Century of the Soldier series
The Spring of 2019 will see the Century of the Soldier series get to grips with the armies
of the late 17th century. René Chartrand, French Canadian author and acknowledged
expert on French military is writing a four-volume history of the armies of Louis XIV.
Volume 1 examining the Guard and Household troops will be out very soon. Bruno
Mugnai, Italian artist and author, is to publish the first of nine volumes on the armies
of the late 17th century covering the period 1660 to 1688, the eve of the Glorious
Revolution. Both authors take time out to discuss these projects with us.

During the later Middle Ages, King’s Lynn (or Bishop’s Lynn
as it was then) was one of the most important ports in
England (two of its Hanseatic League warehouses still exist).
But by the 17th century, its role as an international port had
declined. However, given its position in north-west Norfolk,
it was still important to both coastal and river traffic, whilst
strategically, it controlled the route into East Anglia from
the north-west.
From a defensive perspective, King’s Lynn (it was
renamed during the reign of Henry VIII) was well appointed,
protected by rivers to the west, south and north. Even to
the east, natural water courses could be diverted to provide
a degree of protection. Therefore, by the end of the Middle
Ages, King’s Lynn’s defences amounted to some simple
ramparts (later strengthened by some stone walls) along
its eastern edge, with substantial gateways (including
the still extant South Gate) protecting routes in and
