Journal of Medieval Military History

The articles here focus on activities in north-western Europe with a reconsideration of the location of the battle of Stamford Bridge (1066) an examination of the role of open battles in the civil wars of the Anglo-Norman and Angevin kings a re-assessment of the strategy of Edward I's war against Philip IV in 1297-98 and an analysis of the role of cavalry coureurs in late-medieval France. But regions further to the south and east are by no means neglected with a dissection of the military rhetoric of Pere III of Aragon and his queen Elionor of Sicily and a discussion of the earliest European gunpowder recipes from Friuli (1336) and Augsburg (1338- c. 1350). The volume also offers studies of the campaigns culminating in the battles of Firad in 634 and Qinnasrīn in 1134.<br/><br/>Contributors: Fabrizio Ansani Michael C. Blundell Evgeniy A.
