WDF Xtra #10: Louis XIV's Arms & Armies IV
Added 2017-07-24 00:00:01 +0000 UTC[PATRONS] In this episode we delve into the incredible psychological manipulation which was inculcated in the drill. The 17th century was a terrible place to be a soldier, and to coexist with the horrendous terms it presented, the solider had to become something else entirely. Not a man, but a beast. How was this done? This episode examines all of this, and it tackles how this impacted the French armies of Louis' reign, so I hope you'll give it a listen and let me know what you thought.
