The political union between England and Gascony or Aquitaine lasted
from the early thirteenth century until 1453, and the long series
of Gascon Rolls in the National Archives record some of the
business of Aquitaine during the union. These are currently being
calendared, and this volume reflects some of the research which
resulted, both on the administration and record production of the
Anglo-Gascon officials, and the English government of the region.
The newest work on the Hundred Years War and other aspects of
military history in the late middle ages. This seventh volume of
the Journal of Medieval Military History has a particular focus on
western Europe in the late middle ages, and specifically the
Hundred Years War; however, the breadth and diversity of approaches
found in the modern study of medieval military history remains
evident. Some essays focus on specific texts and documents,
including Jean de Bueil's famous military treatise-cum-novel, Le
Jouvencel; other studies in the volumedeal with particular
campaigns, from naval operations to chevauchées of the
mid-fourteenth century. There are also examinations of English
military leaders of the Hundred Years War, approaching them from
prosopographical and biographical angles. The volume also includes
a seminal piece, newly translated from the Dutch, by J.F.
Verbruggen, in which he employs the financial records of Ghent and
Bruges to illuminate the arms of urban militiamen at the end ofthe
middle ages, and analyzes their significance for the art of war.
