Medieval Warfare 2015 Special Issue Is Coming Soon!
Completing a special issue while maintaining the normal publication schedule, not to mention some changes which are afoot (and about which more later), is never easy. But it's done! Yesterday, and on time, we sent the Battle of Agincourt Special off to the printer. We expect copies, smelling of fresh ink, to be with us on July 14, Bastille Day (is that ironic?…) Pre-ordered copies will then be shipped out immediately in padded envelopes, hopefully in time for holiday reading.
Besides lots of photos, maps, diagrams, and of course original artwork (for a glimpse, click the pictures), you'll find the following contributions in this 84-page special issue:
- Brian Todd Carey – Historical introduction
- Michael Jones – Henry V as military commander
- Adam Chapman – Recruitment and organisation of the English Army
- Hugh Soar – The war bow
- Anne Curry – The Battle of Agincourt
- Jean-Claude Brunner – Too many dukes: The French commanders
- Bertrand Scherb – Recruitment and organization of the French army
- Tobias Capwell – French and English weapons and armour/equipment
- Nils Visser – The source: Agincourt on paper
- Stephen Cooper – Shakespeare and the myth of Agincourt
- Christophe Gilliot – A 'gens d'armes' at Agincourt
- Stephen Bennett – The aftermath
A final note: Please be aware that this special issue is not part of subscriptions. If you want a copy, order it now and save 10% off the cover price!
