This week on the blog, we're taking a trip through the most bellicose of troubadours, Bertran de Born, looking at the attitudes of the 12th century Occitan nobility on war.

Morgan Bible illustration! Also, I found your blog recently and have been enjoying it immensely (have read Siege of Gondor, some GOT content, and now working on the Sparta series). Thanks for helping popularize so much academic content. It helps me hone my high school classes
Yup! Identified with folio page in the text. I try to identify all of my images as clearly as I can. It drives me absolutely mad to see an illustration or artifact pictured in a book that doesn't give a firm ID for it. Very glad to hear my work is useful in a teaching context!
