The decorated style : architecture and ornament, 1240-1360
Nine essays represent the integration of military history with the broader concerns of historians, suggesting that the military history of the Middle Ages was more dynamic than previously thought if studied within a socio-political context of transformation. Specifically, the essays deal with various topics: mottes and town defenses, knights and esquires, the English Templars, Erasmus, Sir Wiliam Pelham, Josse Clichtove, and the Dutch Republic. The editors are British academics, but biographies of the contributing authors are not supplied. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
