Essential · Edition 2026-10-30
Kelly DeVries and Michael Livingston cover Charles the Bold's disastrous second clash with the Swiss Confederation at Murten in 1476. This is what Bow & Blade does well: two medieval military specialists working through the tactical setup, the Burgundian failures, and why the Swiss infantry system kept destroying one of Europe's most lavishly equipped armies. If you're not already listening to this feed, the Burgundian Wars arc is a good place to start.
