Medieval Warfare 11-1 is now at the printers. In this first issue of volume 11, we're taking a broad look at the interplay between warfare and technology in the Middle Ages. The centrepiece of this theme is a debate between Kelly DeVries and David Zimmerman on technological determinism. Was there really a tech revolution at the end of the Middle Ages? Does a modern perspective provide new insight into medieval military developments? Other tech-centric articles look at the pesky 'stirrup thesis,' and the evolution of fortifications around medieval Calais.

Expert John Hosler goes into detail about the particulars of the siege, with Izik Polack and Steve Tibble providing supporting articles on the medieval city itself, and the role of common infantrymen during the Third Crusade.
