	Edward Shepherd Creasy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sir Edward Shepherd Creasy (1812 – 1878), historian, was educated at Eton College and Cambridge University and called to the Bar in 1837.
		He became in 1840 Professor of History, London University, and in 1860, Chief Justice of Ceylon, when he was knighted.

		Creasy published his book during the apogee of the British Empire, in the 1850s, when the country's rule over distant lands was both incredibly expansive after nearly a century of settling and warring, and seemingly secure 35 years after Napoleon's ignominious defeat in the fields of Waterloo.
		But Creasy makes not even a furtive attempt to hide his biases and inclinations, especially in regard to events perceived to be antecedent to the British Empire that he so lauds at every turn.
		Schooled in the Edward Gibbon type of history, the author twists facts and interpretation to glorify the Anglo-Saxon "race." While this can be taken with a grain of salt and used to generate a chuckle or two, its value as serious history is overrated.

	Was World War I necessary? by Keith Windschuttle
		For a start, Creasy’s view of what were history’s most decisive battles would be regarded today as narrowly Eurocentric, a string of events more relevant to determining the political boundaries of Western Europe, especially those of Britain, than of the world at large.
		Creasy does not select his fifteen battles by the size of the armies involved nor by the numbers of casualties.
		Outmoded though he might be, Creasy is surely right to distinguish his own case from that of its logical opposite.

		Quibbling aside, Creasy's conferring of "Decisive" status on his chosen 15 is now almost official, meaning that engagements such as Marathon, the Metaurus, Chalons and Poltava have a cachet that non-"Decisive" battles like Salamis, Issus, Adrianople and Lutzen do not.
		Edward Creasy's "Fifteen Decisive Battles" is a win-win for the reader, and should be required reading for military historians as well as students of Western Civ.
		Accordingly, Creasy selected fifteen battles that dicated the course of "civilization" as he saw it, which essentially was Western Europe.

	Creasy Family Crest
		The name Creasy came to England with the ancestors of the Creasy family in the Norman Conquest of 1066.
		In continental Europe, the most ancient recorded family crest was discovered upon the monumental effigy of a Count of Wasserburg in the church of St. Emeran, at Ratisobon, Germany...
		In the Creasy coat of arms as in all coat of arms the crest is only one element of the full armorial achievement.

	Battle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A decisive battle can have political as well as military impact, changing the balance of power or boundaries between countries.
		The concept of the "decisive battle" became popular with the publication in 1851 of Edward Creasy's The Fifteen Decisive Battles of the World.
		There is an obvious difference in the way battles have been fought throughout time.

	AmericanHeritage.com / D-DAY: WHAT IT MEANT
		To speculate on how Sir Edward Creasy might measure D-day against his criteria would be grossly presumptuous and might disturb his rest.
		Sir Edward Creasy decreed that the historical stature of a battle must be judged not only on the basis of victory that helped “make us what we are” but also on the basis of “what we probably should have been” had it been lost.
		Sir Edward therefore insisted that the speculation he considered necessary to his method be within the bounds of “human probabilities only,” a porous restraint but helpful.
