Journal of Medieval Military History

The essays in this volume of the <i>Journal</i> continue its proud tradition of presenting cutting-edge research with a wide chronological and geographical range from eleventh-century Georgia (David IV's use of the methods described in <i>De velitatione bellica</i>) to fifteenth-century England and France (a detailed analysis of the use of the under-appreciated lancegay and similar weapons). Iberia and the Empire are also addressed with a study of Aragonese leaders in the War of the Two Pedros a discussion of Prince Ferdinand's battle-seeking strategy prior to the battle of Toro in 1476 and an analysis and transcription of a newly-discovered Habsburg battle plan of the early sixteenth century drawn up for the war against Venice. The volume also embraces different approaches from cultural-intellectual history (the afterlife of the medieval Christian Warrior) to experimental archaeology (the mechanics of raising trebuchets) to comparison of the face of battle in a medieval illuminated manuscript with its depiction in modern films to archivally-based administrative history (recruitment among the sub-gentry for Edward I's armies).<br/><br/>Contributors: David S.
