Latest volume in the leading forum for debate on aspects of
medieval warfare. The essays in this latest edition of the Journal,
by leading experts in the field, are a witness to the flourishing
state of the subject, and provide significant contributions to
various important on-going debates and controversies. They include
wide-ranging discussions of state formation and the role of women
in medieval warfare, and an energetic argument against viewing
medieval warfare as cavalry-dominated. A trio of articles dealing
with issuesof bravery and cowardice, though based on Anglo-Saxon
and Anglo-Norman evidence, advance our knowledge of one of the
all-pervasive aspects of the military history of the middle ages.
Similarly, an experimentally-based study of theeffectiveness of
arrows against mail armor reaches conclusions that will cast light
on combat from Visigothic Spain to Crusader Outremer to
fifteenth-century Bohemia. In addition, the Journal includes
in-depth studies of Iberianwar-dogs, the naval battle of Zierikzee
at the start of the fourteenth century, and [reflecting the
editors' broad understanding of the scope of the field] the
war-related activities of Dutch magistrates at the turn of the
sixteenth century. Contributors: STEPHEN MORILLO, BERNARD S.
