Book Description
Volume III of ‘De Re Militari’s’ annual journal once again ranges broadly in its chronological and geographic scope, from John France’s article on the evidence which early medieval Saints’ Lives provide concerning warfare to Sergio Mantovani’s examination of the letters of an Italian captain at the very end of the middle ages, and from Spain [Nicolas Agrait’s study of early-fourteenth-century Castilian military structures] to the eastern Danube [Carroll Gillmor’s surprising explanation for one of Charlemagne’s greatest setbacks]. Thematic approaches range from ‘traditional’, though revisionist in content, campaign analyses [of Sir Thomas Dagworth, by Clifford J. Rogers, and of Matilda of Tuscany, by Valerie Eads], to tightly focused studies of a single document [Kelly DeVries on militia logistics in the fifteenth century], to controversial, must-read assessments of the broadest topics in medieval military history [Stephen Morillo and Richard Abels on change vs. continuity from Roman times; J. F. Verbruggen on the importance of cavalry.] CONTRIBUTORS: RICHARD ABELS, NICOLAS AGRAIT, KELLY DEVRIES, VALERIE EADS, JOHN FRANCE, CARROLL GILLMOR, SERGIO MANTOVANI, STEPHEN MORILLO, CLIFFORD J. ROGERS.
