The essays brought together in this volume examine the conduct of
war by the Angevin kings of England during the long thirteenth
century (1189-1307). Drawing upon a wide range of unpublished
administrative records that have been largely ignored by previous
scholarship, David S. Bachrach offers new insights into the
military technology of the period, including the types of artillery
and missile weapons produced by the royal government. The studies
in this volume also highlight the administrative sophistication of
the Angevin kings in military affairs, showing how they produced
and maintained huge arsenals, mobilized vast quantities of supplies
for their armies in the field, and provided for the pastoral care
of their men. Bachrach also challenges the knight-centric focus of
much of the scholarship on this period, demonstrating that the
militarization of the English population penetrated to men in the
lower social and economic strata, who volunteered in large numbers
for military service, and even made careers as professional
soldiers. (CS1088).
