"The leading academic vehicle for scholarly publication in the
field of medieval warfare." Medieval Warfare The essays in this
volume of the Journal continue its proud tradition of presenting
cutting-edge research with a wide chronological and geographical
range, from eleventh-century Georgia (David IV's use of the methods
described in De velitatione bellica) to fifteenth-century England
and France (a detailed analysis of the use of the under-appreciated
lancegay and similar weapons). Iberia and the Empire are also
addressed, with a study of Aragonese leaders in the War of the Two
Pedros, a discussion of Prince Ferdinand's battle-seeking strategy
prior to the battle of Toro in 1476, and an analysis and
transcription of a newly-discovered Habsburg battle plan of the
early sixteenth century, drawn up for the war against Venice. The
volume also embraces different approaches, from
cultural-intellectual history (the afterlife of the medieval
Christian Warrior), to experimental archaeology (the mechanics of
raising trebuchets), to comparison of "the face of battle" in a
medieval illuminated manuscript with its depiction in modern films,
to archivally-based administrative history (recruitment among the
sub-gentry for Edward I's armies). Contributors: David S. Bachrach,
Daniel Bertrand, Peter Burkholder, Ekaitz Etxeberria Gallastegi,
Michael John Harbinson, Steven Isaac, Donald J. Kagay, Tomaz Lazar,
