Spying and assassination have always had a part to play in warfare. I don't want to sound like I am imagining medieval ninjas, but would assassination and other "covert" type operations have been a legitimate field for a fight master to teach, and is there any record of them doing so?

Excellent article John, I'll look forward to the next one.

BTW, I can't remember where I read of it, but I think there was a 19th century play loosely based on the incident.
