Lat. 4922) explain the meaning behind Donizo’s account of the Battle of Tricontai (1091/1092). I argue that the marginalia were intended to guide readers to appreciating the location of the battle and the extent of Matilda’s losses at it. As a simultaneous dissection of a medieval battle and a medieval manuscript, this article could appeal to both military historians and students of literature.}, keywords = {Medieval history Battle of Tricontai (1091/1092) Donizo Vita Mathildis Mathilda of Canossa}, ISBN = {ISSN:1825-411X}, year = {2017} }
