The Circle of War in the Middle Ages: Essays on Medieval Military and Naval History

By Donald J. Kagay

Different aspects of medieval warfare form the focus for this collection of essays by both established and new scholars. They range from a reconsideration of several problems of military historiography to explorations of the medieval view of divine influence on the battlefield, and the emergence of complex strategic and tactical norms of naval warfare in the medieval Mediterranean. Other topics examined include the role of mercenaries; crusader warfare; and Anglo-Norman women at war. Contributors: BERNARD S. BACHRACH, THERESA M. VANN, PAUL E.
