The practice of feuding amongst noblemen and princes represented a
substantial threat to law and order, yet it was widely accepted and
deeply embedded in late medieval and early modern German society.
Hillay Zmora offers a new interpretation of this violent social
practice, which has long confounded historians and social
scientists. His groundbreaking study explains feud violence in its
social context, demonstrating that, paradoxically, nobles feuded
mostly not against strangers but with neighbours, relatives and
their feudal lords. Focusing on the ambivalent relationships and
symbolic communication between nobles, this study explores how
values, norms and moral sentiments linked to reciprocity provided
the most powerful incentives to engage in violent conflict. It will
be essential reading for historians, anthropologists, psychologists
and anyone who seeks to understand the link between culture, moral
systems and endemic violence.
