Black Powder Supplement: The Last Argument of Kings

The widespread adoption of the flintlock musket transformed warfare during this era, changing how armies drilled, manoeuvred and fought on the battlefield. Kings and emperors contested territory, wealth and dynastic succession through wars fought across Europe and beyond.

Yet beneath the splendour of the age, political change was already reshaping the world. By the century’s end, the authority of monarchs had been weakened by parliaments, revolutions and the growing challenge to the divine right of kings.
