Medieval Warfare Vol VI, Issue 2: Two Kings Duelling - The War of the Sicilian Vespers .
Focuses on one of the most important wars in the Mediterranean during
the Middle Ages, a clash that helped undermine the political authority
of the Holy Roman Emperors, and the moral authority of the Papacy,

Shrewsbury and the Anglo-Scottish conflict..
