On Sunday, 14 November, at the North American Conference on British Studies in Baltimore, Steven Issac presented a paper, “The Role of Urban Forces in Plantagenet Warfare, 1140—1216” as part of a panel on Aspects of Medieval Warfare. The commentator, Prof. Richard Abels, was impressed by Steven’s contention that as early as the twelfth century, British towns were producing cavalry contingents for the kings in contradistinction to the usual model of seeing knight based upon rural fiefs. Steven has also been invited to be a featured speaker at a series of lectures at the University of Trondheim in Norway in the spring semester.
