Often, this development is associated with France, and the court of its King, Louis XIV.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>It is to this King that La Touche boldly dedicated his treatise,&nbsp;<\/span><em>Les Vrays Principes de l&#8217;Esp&eacute;e seule<\/em><span>, in 1670, and it is this treatise that could be seen as the first work to show how fencing evolved to accommodate the changing weapon.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>In this work, Reinier van Noort and Antoine Coudre present the first ever English translation of La Touche&#8217;s&nbsp;<\/span><em>Vrays Principes<\/em><span>, providing a fascinating view on the development of fencing in France at a time when the rapier gave way to the smallsword.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Reinier van Noort is a martial artist and researcher who has practised HEMA since 2005, focusing mainly on rapier fencing. He has published a number of translations of fencing treatises, including&nbsp;<\/span><em>Of the Single Rapier<\/em><span>,&nbsp;<\/span><em>Lesson on the Thrust<\/em><span>, and&nbsp;<\/span><em>Swordplay<\/em><span>.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Antoine Coudre is a historian who has worked as Researcher in the History department at the Centre des Hatues &Eacute;tudes de l&#8217;Armement. He has been a martial artist since 1998, and started practising HEMA in 2009.
