That is some sweet collection you purchased, Myth! Loving the castle books. :grin:

Osprey has been releasing some interesting titles lately, particularly for Byzantine fans - Byzantine Naval Forces - https://ospreypublishing.com/byzantine-naval-forces-1261-1461

And this one - albeit released 2 years ago - offers some insight on a rather more obscure fighting force - the Hanseatic League. https://ospreypublishing.com/forces-of-the-hanseatic-league

Got a few of those, never read them though. I can recommend Cambrige illustrated Atlas on medieval warfare, and The teutonic Knights (William Urban).

Speaking of Teutonic Knights, if you haven't read it - read the novel The Knights of the Cross about the Teutonic Knights by famous Polish author Henryk Sinkiewicz. :yes:
