This is a major new study of the ideas and practices involved in
the making and breaking of peace treaties and truces from Classical
Greece to the time of the Crusades. Leading specialists on war and
peace in ancient and medieval history examine the creation of peace
agreements, and explore the extent to which their terms could be
manipulated to serve the interests of one side at the other's
expense. The chapters discuss a wide range of uses to which
treaties and other peace agreements were put by rulers and military
commanders in pursuit of both individual and collective political
aims. The book also considers the wider implications of these
issues for our understanding of the nature of war and peace in the
ancient and medieval periods. This broad-ranging account includes
chapters on ancient Persia, the Roman and Byzantine Empires,
Anglo-Saxon England and the Vikings.
