Highlights "the range and richness of scholarship on medieval
warfare, military institutions, and cultures of conflict that
characterize the field". History 95 (2010) Warfare on the periphery
of Europe and across cultural boundaries is a particular focus of
this volume. One article, on Castilian seapower, treats the melding
of northern and southern naval traditions; another clarifies the
military roles of the Ayyubid and Mamluk miners and stoneworkers in
siege warfare; a third emphasizes cultural considerations in an
Icelandic conflict; a fourth looks at how an Iberian prelate
navigated the line between ecclesiastical and military
responsibilities; and a fifth analyzes the different roles of early
gunpowder weapons in Europe and China, linking technological
history with the significance of human geography. Further
contributions also consider technology, two dealing with
fifteenth-century English artillery and the third with
prefabricated mechanical artillery during the Crusades. Another
theme of the volume is source criticism, with re-examinations of
the sources for Owain Glyndwr's (possible) victory at Hyddgen in
1401, a (possible) Danish attack on England in 1128, and the role
of non-milites in Salian warfare. Contributors: Nicolas Agrait,
