In this 481st offering of the Osprey Men at Arms series, Ignacio and Ivan Lopez, and their illustrators, Gerry and Sam Embleton, have written a useful volume on the history of the Spanish tactical unit, the tercio, from its inception in the mid-16th century to the turn of the 18th century, the period the zenith of the power and prestige of the Spanish army. It includes the usual detailed color plates, pictures, and diagrams found in the entire Osprey series. Normalement, les livrets de cette série sont plutôt orientés «uniformologie», ce qui n'est pas le cas ici. Vous découvrirez en fait toutes les informations sur le recrutement, l'organization, l'armement et l'utilisation tactique de cette troupe d'élite de Charles Quint et de ses successeurs. Onderdeel van de reeks(en)Osprey Men-at-Arms (481)
A mixed infantry formation made up of about 3,000 men armed with pikes, swords and handguns, the innovative and influential tercio or 'Spanish square' was the basic combat unit of the armies of Spain throughout much of the 16th and 17th centuries. Arguably the first permanent tactical formation seen in Europe since the Roman cohort, the tercio was the forerunner of modern formations such as the battalion and regiment. The variety of different weapons fielded in the tercio meant the Spanish infantry could resist opposing cavalry forces while overcoming every kind of enemy infantry deployed against them. Featuring full-colour artwork and photographs of rare items held at the Spanish Army Museum, this study covers the whole period during which the tercios were active, opening with the third Italian war between the forces of France and the Holy Roman Emperor and concluding with the final transformation of the Spanish tercios into regiments in 1704.
