Unsourced and erroneous statement

I regard the statement that the condottieri's "mode of fighting (which emphasized armored knights on horseback) was rendered practically obsolete by the introduction of the mobile field cannon" as inaccurate. It should be either appropriately sourced, if possible, or deleted. It was the advent of pike and shot infantry that made "armored knights on horseback" obsolete (see e.g. Swiss mercenaries or Battle of Ceresole)Stammer 21:09, 30 April 2007 (UTC).Reply
