Fiore de Liberi was a fencing master who in the early 15th century put his thoughts and techniques down in his Flower of Battle.

There are four surviving copies of the Flower of Battle and the MS Latin 11269 shows Fiore's work in full color with a greater sense of perspective.

Benjamin Winnick has translated the Latin and Richard Marsden has provided his own interpretation as well as comparison to the other versions of the Flower of Battle.

The Flower of Battle covers mounted combat, wrestling, the dagger, the sword in one hand and two, as well as the spear, pole-axe and other odds and ends.
