French paper about Brabançon mercenaries

[Duncan Head]

The new Osprey Bouvines 1214 referenced this paper (in French) about Renaud de Dammartin's "Brabançon" mercenaries at that battle. I found it on academia.edu; nothing earth-shattering but a decent summary.

Thanks for that. Stretched my French a bit, but it seemed a solid summary. I think he could have found a wider range of examples if he'd looked.  The trick of using infantry to form a refuge for knights was used in the wide-ranging tournaments of the 12th century, for example.
