SELECT BIBLIOGRAPHY
The following titles are the ones most directly relevant to this book. This is by no means a comprehensive bibliography. With some exceptions, I have not included general political and military histories. As there is a huge amount published on medieval warfare – far too much to list here – I have included some historiographical surveys and review articles which discuss some of the literature in this field. For primary sources, I have attempted to list the most accessible English translations available. Place of publication is London unless otherwise stated.
