Many of the combatants in the European wars of the late middle ages
fought for their own gain, but they observed a code of regulations,
part chivalrous and part commercial which they called the 'law of
arms'. This book, originally published in 1965, examines this
soldiers' code, to understand its rules and how they were enforced.
How did a soldier sue for ransom money if his prisoner would not
pay it, and before what court? How did he know whether what he took
by force was lawful spoil? As the answers to these and other
questions reveal, the workings of the law of arms gave practical
point to the contemporary cult of chivalry. It also had an
important influence on the early development of ideas of
international law.
