[edit] COMPANION TO MEDIEVAL ARMS AND ARMOUR
Covers the period from the fifth to the fifteenth century, which saw huge changes in military technology in most of the world's major civilisations. This book focuses on arms and armour in Europe, and also investigates those of neighbouring civilisations, including the Byzantine Empire, eastern Europe, the steppes and the Islamic world.
Arms and armour in Europe developed dramatically during the thousand years from the fifth to the fifteenth century. During this broad sweep of time civilisations rose and fell and population movements swept from east to west, bringing in their wake advances and modifications absorbed and expanded by indigenous populations. So although the primary focus of this book is on the arms and armour of Europe, it also includes neighbouring cultures where these had a direct influence on developments and changes within Europe, from late Roman cavalry armour, Byzantium and the East to the influence of the Golden Horde. A truly impressive band of specialists cover issues ranging from the migrations to the first firearms, divided into three sections: From the Fall of Rome to the Eleventh Century, Emergence of a European Tradition in the High Middle Ages, and New Influences and New Challenges of the Late Middle Ages; throughout there is particular emphasis on the social and technological aspects of medieval military affairs.
