These articles are devoted to the two main aspects of medieval
warfare: men and technology. Men fought, led, and ultimately killed
in war, while the technology that they used facilitated these
tasks. The first group of essays highlights human strengths in the
fighting of medieval wars, with a focus on events of the 14th and
15th centuries, specifically the Anglo-French wars and wars against
the Turks. A second group addresses the technological side of
warfare, in particular the advent and proliferation of early
gunpowder weapons which evolved rapidly during the late Middle
Ages, although never replacing the role of men. The articles study
various facets of this evolution, from the increased use and
effectiveness of guns in battles, sieges, and naval warfare, to
changes in their science and metallurgy, surgical treatment of
wounds caused by them, and governmental centralization of the
technology.
