Essays throwing fresh light on what it was like to be a medieval
soldier, drawing on archival research. The "long" fourteenth
century saw England fighting wars on a number of diverse fronts -
not just abroad, in the Hundred Years War, but closer to home. But
while tactics, battles, and logistics have been frequently
discussed, the actual experience of being a soldier has been less
often studied. Via a careful re-evaluation of original sources, and
the use of innovative methodological techniques such as statistical
analysis and the use of relational databases, the essays here bring
new insights to bear on soldiers, both as individuals and as
groups. Topics addressed include military service and the dynamics
of recruitment; the social composition of the armies; the question
of whether soldiers saw their role as a "profession"; and the
experience of prisoners of war. Contributors: Andrew Ayton, David
Simpkin, Andrew Spencer, David Bachrach, Iain MacInnes, Adam
Chapman, Michael Jones, Guilhem Pepin, Remy Ambuhl, Adrian R. Bell
