What is Black Powder: The Last Argument of Kings – Fighting Black Powder Battles in the 18th Century
At the beginning of the Eighteenth century, warfare entered a new era. The widespread use of the flintlock musket had transformed the way armies trained and fought.
This period was a golden age for the crowned heads of Europe. They commanded professional troops, gloriously outfitted in splendid uniforms, and fought each other over land, wealth and the succession of their thrones. Some even led their armies on the field of battle. Yet by the end of the century, the real power of kings was gone or greatly eroded parliaments would decide the foreing policy of nations, democracy had taken hold in the New World and the divine right of kings was being questioned everywhere.
