Lately, since becoming a member of this forum my interest in medieval warfare has grown. I guess it first started when I found the book list that is sticked in the entrance hall. In my searches for books that described medieval warfare, I ran across a very concise Atlas of the middle ages. The language is very accessible unlike many medieval books written by historians which seem more concerned with archaic word choices...
The book is:
The Cambridge Illustrated Atlas
Warfare - The Middle Ages 768 thru. 1487
Nicholas Hooper & Matthew Bennett
The content covers the following chapters:
The Wars of Charlemagne
The Vikings
The Tenth-Century Kingdoms
The Danish Conquest of England
The Norman Conquest of England
The Angevin Empire
The German Empires under Federick Barbarossa
Eastern Europe and the Mongols
Thirteenth English Civil Wars
England and the Celtic Fringe
The Reconquista and the Normans in the Mediterranean
The First Crusade
The Latin States of the Holy Land
The Resurgence of Islam and the Third Crusade
The Latin Conquest of Constantinople
The Spanish Reconquista and Albigensian Crusades
The Crusade in Africa
The Hundred Years' War
Italy and the Mediterranean Arena
The Hussite Wars and the Later Crusades
The War of the Roses
The Army and Campaigns of Charles the Bold
Well hopefully this book will be useful to all of you, assuming you would want to know more about the middle-ages.
