		John Hawkwood (1320-1394), or Giovanni Acuto as he was nicknamed by the indigenous population, arrived in the Peninsular around 1362 when a lull in the Hundred Years War between England and France rendered several soldiers of fortune redundant.
		Hawkwood`s arrival in Italy in 1362 was initiated by an appeal from Pisa to help her hold off the threat of invasion by the preying Florentine Lion anxious to obtain a seaport for their flowering trade and commerce.
		Hawkwood was esteemed so well by both factions that he was able to arbitrate a truce whereby the city was returned into the hands of the Perugians on January 1st 1376 and he was entrusted by the Legate of Bologna to escort the wicked Abate on his ignominious retreat to the Romagna.

		Hawkwood and his men never remained loyal to one side but were always changing sides of the war depending on who paid the most money.
		In 1364 Hawkwood with his Pisan troops was the enemy of the Florentines and had raided their city but they forgave him and established such a good relationship with him that he was honored on his death with the equestrian monument frescoed by Paolo Uccello in Santa Maria del Fiore (1436).
		Hawkwood's last campaign, at the age of 70, was with the Florentine Signoria against Gian Galeazzo, the Duke of Milano.

		Historian William Caferro's ambitious account of Hawkwood is both a biography and a study of warfare and statecraft.
		Caferro's Hawkwood possessed a talent for dissimulation and craft both on the battlefield and at the negotiating table, and, ironically, managed to gain a reputation for "honesty" while beating his Italian hosts at their own game of duplicity and manipulation.
		Hawkwood's career is treated not in isolation but firmly within the context of Italian society, against the backdrop of unfolding crises: famine, plague, popular unrest, and religious schism.

	Sir John Hawkwood
		ir John Hawkwood was an Englishman, a soldier who made a reputation for himself in France and an even larger one (and a fortune to go along with it) in the Italies as a condotierre, a mercenary general.
		It was there that Sir John rose to command of the White Company, a successful band that became known as an English group despite the presence of soldiers from the Germanies, France, and other places.
		Hawkwood served for and against various city states and even fought under the papal banner, a service he left when a certain cardinal, Robert of Geneva, ordered a city sacked despite Hawkwood's earlier promise to the citizens that they would be spared.

	Amazon.ca: The Devil's Broker: Seeking Gold, God, and Glory in Fourteenth- Century Italy: Books: Frances Stonor Saunders (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		The career of Sir John Hawkwood, "the most audacious" of mercenaries active in Italy in the mid to late 14th century, provides a framework for this study of the era's religion, politics and warfare.
		His name was John Hawkwood (c.1320-94), and his profession flourished amid opportunities offered by the Hundred Years War, the Avignon exile of the papacy, and incessant warfare among Italian city-states.
		With a sophisticated sensibility for the period, Saunders tilts her presentation toward the sardonic where Hawkwood's auctions of his services are concerned, archly observing the malleable loyalties inherent in the mercenary phenomenon while narrating attempts (as by Pope Urban V) to defeat it.

	Cercles book reviews Wolfe Le Texier
		Hawkwood was in many of his dealings a brutal and unscrupulous thug, at various times a looter, thief and a confidence trickster and at least once probably a mass murderer.
		Saunders shows how this portrayal is hedged with qualifications: the tactics that Hawkwood adopted in the field are reinterpreted as Fabian, in the literal sense, favouring caution over rashness; and the shadow of death, the pale rider, lurks behind the face of the great soldier, as Uccello presented it.
		Hawkwood’s story may have a moral for our age but Saunders, perhaps wisely, doesn’t attempt to draw one—she leaves that to be implied in her witty choice of chapter epigraphs.

	CorpWatch : EUROPE: Mercenary Money Made the World Go Around
		What is most striking about Hawkwood is his rapid mobility through Europe, at a time when he depended on foot-soldiers and sailing boats; he never stayed in one place for more than two months: as soon as he saw the chance for profit, he moved across the continent as if it was his back-yard.
		Hawkwood's mercenaries were acting in the name of Pope Gregory, and later historians have put most of the blame on the pope, particularly since Hawkwood allowed a thousand women to escape to Rimini, "not be entirely infamous".
		But she provides fascinating glimpses of Hawkwood's personality; including two brief letters written by him in 1393 arranging for his return to England, which emerged 70 years ago and are now housed in the British Library, the oldest extant letters in English.

	Forums at the Society - Italian v. English cavalry
		I'd suggest that anything Medieval is essentially pre-nationalist, and as such, most battles were fought between forces that represented the interests of a particular state or prince but where the actual nationality of the participants was of minor consideration.
		According to tradition, Sir John Hawkwood and his "White Company" would take service with whatever prince was prepared to pay them although they would not have suffered the disdain mercenaries would share today.
		Hawkwood apparently stipulated, in all of his contracts, that he would not fight against the English.

		Said to have been the son of an Essex tailor or tanner, Gilbert, and to have been born around 1320CE, John Hawkwood served in the English army under Edward III and the Black Prince during the Hundred Years War with France, including fighting at Crecy.
		Around 1360, after the peace of Bretigny, when the official English involvement ended, Hawkwood struck out on his own and formed his own troop of men, whom he attached to the Great Company which was under the patronage of the Marquis of Monferrant/o.
		He died in 1394, was given a vast public funeral and burial, and ought to have had a marble monument in the Florentine cathedral but it never came to pass.

	Hawkwood by Frances Stonor Saunders-Arts & Entertainment-Books-TimesOnline
		Hawkwood, as the popes learnt to their cost, could be bought but not kept.
		Hawkwood's extraordinary career (at 40, he was poor, undistinguished and had a criminal record; at 50, he was the highly-paid scourge of all who opposed the Visconti brothers' ambitions) enables Stonor Saunders to examine the narrow line dividing the chivalric ideal from the harsh facts of siege war.
		Her descriptions of the scaling attacks at which the White Company excelled are hair-raisingly intense and precise, communicating both the risk of a night-time ascent on narrow ladders to towers where bowls of water were set out to detect the minutest vibration, and the terror of the assault.

		Dispite having such a radical and antagonistic progenitor, the Hawkwoods cover the entire political spectrum- one Hawkwood could be an angry Anarch, while another could be a respected Archon.
		In terms of camp/faction, the Hawkwoods produce Idealists as well as Iconoclasts, but members of this family tend to make up the faction of 'Individualists'- which is kind of suitable for a line so marked.

		Hawkwood was a professional soldier who served his apprenticeship in France, but became "grand-master of war" in Italy, fighting in virtually every part of that peninsula and eventually becoming commander in chief in Florence.
		The explanation of Hawkwood's complex relations with his principal employers is excellent, as is the account of how he came to acquire his extensive portfolio of estates in Italy and in England.
		His reconstruction of Hawkwood's most famous battle at Castagnaro in 1387 and of the invasion of Lombardy in 1390 is magisterial.
