War was epidemic in the late Middle Ages. It affected every land
and all peoples from Scotland and Scandinavia in the north to the
southern Mediterranean Sea coastlines of Morocco, North Africa,
Egypt, and the Middle East in the south, from Ireland and Spain in
the west to Russia and Turkey in the east. Nowhere was peaceful for
any significant amount of time. The period also saw significant
changes in military theory and practice which altered the ways in
which campaigns were conducted, battles fought, and sieges laid;
and changes in the leadership, recruitment, training, supply and
financing of armies. There were changes in the relationship between
those waging warfare, from generals to irregular troops, and the
society in which they lived and for or against which they fought;
the frequency of popular rebellions and the participation in them
by townspeople and peasants; changes in the desire to undertake
Crusades, and changes in technology, including but not limited to
gunpowder weapons. This collection gathers together some of the
best published work on these topics. The first section of seven
papers show that throughout Europe in the later Middle Ages
generals led and armies followed what are usually defined as
"modern" strategy and tactics, contrary to popular belief. The
second part reprints nine works that examine the often neglected
aspects of the process of putting and keeping together a late
medieval army. In the third section the authors discuss various
ways that warfare in the fourteenth and fifteenth century affected
the society of that period. The final sections cover popular
rebellions and crusading.
