You may want to reach out to a local library. They may help out with the answer and better direct you to a digital archive.

Hey there, the closest I can think of would be A.R. Disney's A History of Portugal and the Portugese Empire. I know ot doesn't solely cover the medieval period, but what overlap exists is great. If you are into Andalusian history writ large, check out the works of Dr. Brian Catlos.

Happy Wednesday everyone!
I just wrapped up James Deschuk's [Clearing the Plains: Disease, Politics of Starvation, and the Loss of Indigenous Life](http://Clearing the Plains: Disease, Politics of Starvation, and the Loss of Indigenous Life https://a.co/d/b8GzQ3M) and it was well worth the read. The book covers Canada's troubled past with its various indigenous peoples, and the policies and factors that contributed to their suffering.

Hey there. I'm not too sure on the accurate size measures, but I would say that some of the largest walled cities today would definitely include Istanbul (historic Constantinople); Carcassonne, France; Jerusalem; and X'ian, China. Each had their own merits on defences, the most resolute (by historical record) seems to be Istanbul, due to the Theodosian Walls.

Hey there! It's indeed true. Newton was a bare-knuckle boxer, and was described by a student of his as being a fan of 'eye-gouging, choking, and headbutting.' I haven't seen a book dedicated to this topic, however, I came across it in several articles about the man.

Hey there! Forwarded your question to a friend who read these, and he said that the Triumvirate is a great book, but a tedious read. Whereas the Founders was an easier read, without taking away from the content.

Bury my Heart is one of my top recommendations to everyone. Although dark, I consider it to be a must-read.

Happy Wednesday everyone!
Just wrapped up Indigenous Continent: The Epic Contest for North America by Pekka Hämäläinen, and I found it to be fantastic! The book provides an excellent account of various First Nations, and their resistance to European and American expansion. My only comment would be that I wish a little mlre was said on the challenges of life on reservations today. Overall, excellent book!

Hey everyone, happy Wednesday!
Just wrapped up Caroline Pennock's On Savage Shores: How Indigenous Americans Discovered Europeand found it to be a fantastic analysis and retelling of account where Native American/First Nations' people went to Europe post-1492. The book is also well-written, with a great flow, and does an excellentjkb of relaying the Native American/First Nations experience and perspective
