medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Yesterday's ODNB Life of the Day was Kenneth Fowler's biography of Sir John
Hawkwood (d. 1394), military commander. Apart from his bequests, there is
not much religious significance in this life but it may be of interest to
those who study wars within fourteenth-century Italy and who are familiar
with his magnificent memorial by Paolo Uccello in Florence Cathedral.
