The Journal of Medieval Military History continues to consolidate
its now assured position as the leading academic vehicle for
scholarly publication in the field of medieval warfare. Medieval
Warfare This volume focuses on two of the most vibrant areas of
research in the field: Crusader studies and the warfare of the Late
Middle Ages, embracing a diversity of approaches. Chapters look at
the battle of Tell Bashir (1108) in thecontext of Saljuq politics;
the defenses of 'Altit castle, one of the Templars' strongest
fortifications, from an archaeological perspective; the involvement
of the Military Orders in secular conflicts, particularly in
Europe; and how royal women affected and were affected by the wars
of Castile and the Crown of Aragon in the fourteenth century.
Fencing competitions are used to explore masculinity and status in
Strasbourg from the late Middle Ages into the early modern period,
and key aspects of the actual conduct of warfare in the fifteenth
century come under detailed scrutiny: the role of cavalry in
turning the Hundred Years War in favour of the French, and the
logistical and procurement difficulties and methods involved in
fielding a Florentine army in 1498. The volume is completed with a
translation and discussion of Guillaume Guiart's rich description
of a French royal army on the march and in camp atthe start of the
fourteenth century. Contributors: Fabrizio Ansani, Drew Bolinger,
