Frater de Beaumanoir:
I'm always looking to add to my library. The ones I posted support the persona I developed. I have many others regarding basic medieval knights and topics like The War of the Roses, Agincourt, Crecy, etc.

My thanks for the lists you two gentlemen have also provided. A few on each are now identified for future purchase.  :)

Well, for my part, a good number in your list are now earmarked for future acquisitions for my library.  In fact, I believe I have just the bookshelf but YOU have the definitive Templar cache.  Nicely done.
