Why Is Honoré Bonet Influential?

According to Wikipedia, Honoré Bonet was a Provençal Benedictine, the prior of Salon near Embrun. Bonet studied at the University of Avignon where he received a doctorate and traveled around France and Aragon. He wrote on philosophy, law, politics, and heraldry. In his work L'arbre des batailles Bonet deals with war and the laws of war, written in the form of a scholastic dialogue: each chapter starts with a yes–no question, proceeds with a dialogue, and concludes. The book was written to obtain favour of Charles V of France, but without much effect. However, it became a manual for commanders and a lot of European rulers and gentlemen had this book in their libraries as well. In 1456 it was translated to English in the Rosslyn castle for Gilbert de la Haye, Chancellor of Scotland, Earl of Orkney and Caithness.
