The theme of warfare as a collective enterprise investigated in the
theatres of both land and sea. From warhorses to the men-at-arms
who rode them; armies that were raised to the lords who recruited,
led, administered, and financed them; and ships to the mariners who
crewed them; few aspects of the organisation and logistics ofwar in
late medieval England have escaped the scholarly attention, or
failed to benefit from the insights, of Dr Andrew Ayton. The
concept of the military community, with its emphasis on warfare as
a collective social enterprise, has always lain at the heart of his
work; he has shown in particular how this age of warfare is
characterised by related but intersecting military communities,
marked not only by the social and political relationships within
armies and navies, but by communities of mind, experience, and
enterprise. The essays in this volume, ranging from the late
thirteenth to the early fifteenth century, address various aspects
of this idea. They offer investigations of soldiers' and mariners'
equipment; their obligations, functions, status, and recruitment;
and the range and duration of their service. Gary P. Baker is a
Research Associate at the University of East Angliaand a Researcher
in History at the University of Groningen; Craig L. Lambert is
Lecturer in Maritime History at the University of Southampton;
David Simpkin teaches history at Birkenhead Sixth-Form College.
