Trace Italienne Forts, The Siege of Haddington – Interview with Jon Cooper

This Friday we have a super special treat for you - an in-depth interview with Jon Cooper by Catherine Brooks. In this talk, we learn about the dramatic changes in warfare that were happening during the Tudor period and how defensive fortifications had to change. Jon focuses on trace italienne fortifications as used, but now lost, at Haddington. It's a wonderful talk, thank you to both!
