商品簡介
Following in the path of the first volume (The Hundred Years War; A Wider Focus, 2005), this second volume contains 14 essays that examine how the war's impact on the structure of Europe was broader than previously understood as the conflict created leaders, states, technologies and more wars. Individual papers discuss areas not thoroughly examined before as well as fresh perspectives on already well-researched subjects. For example, coveage includes new ideas about the political and emotional impact of the triumph in Agincourt, the strategies and tactics learned by the lords of Aragon and Catalonia, the significance of the shootout between the longbow and crossbow at Crecy, and the role of mental incapacity in both battle and diplomacy. Editors Villalon and Kagay are historians affiliated, respectively, with the U. of Texas and Albany State U.; they bring together contributions from scholars of medieval history, most of whom are based in the US.
