Now at the printers, issue IX-2 of Medieval Warfare features one extra-long cover article that serves as the theme. In it, scholar Carole Hillenbrand takes a look at the rise and development of the Nizari sect in medieval Syria and Iran, and how one of their most infamous tactics – assassination – came to dominate our understanding of them. Off-topic articles in this issue include articles on the Battle of Jargeau, the market for medieval warhorses, and a feud between warlords in 15th Century Italy, to name a few.
