Where can I find descriptive accounts of Medieval combat?
I am hunting for primary sources on combat in Europe from the high middle-ages in particular. I have heard about descriptive accounts from this period but haven't seen them myself. Can anyone suggest a good place to start looking?
De Re Militari: http://deremilitari.org.

In particular, William the Breton's prose account of The Battle of Bouvines is a superb account of one of the most dramatic battles of the early 13th century: http://www.deremilitari.org/RESOURCES/SOURCES/bouvines5.htm
Froissart has some of course. I very much doubt a scrap taking pace across a small stretch of water is any different on either side. Also 'The Arrival' for the ED IV 1471 campaign

Thanks!
