The Battle of Pavia in 1525, in which Francis I, King of France, was defeated and captured, has tremendous impact throughout; it has been described as 'marking the end of the Middle Ages'. The contemporary panel painting which formed part of the foundation collection of the Ashomelan Museum in 1638 is one of the most dramatic and detailed images of Renaissance warfare. This book tells the story of the battle and of the making of this famous painting.
