The societies of ancient Europe underwent a continual process of
militarisation, and this would come to be a defining characteristic
of the early Middle Ages. The process was neither linear nor
mono-causal, but it affected society as a whole, encompassing
features like the lack of demarcation between the military and
civil spheres of the population, the significance attributed to
weapons beyond their military function and the wide recognition of
martial values. Early medieval militarisation assembles twenty
studies that use both written and archaeological evidence to
explore the phenomenon of militarisation and its impact on the
development of the societies of early medieval Europe. The
interdisciplinary investigations break new ground and will be
essential reading for scholars and students of related fields, as
well as non-specialists with an interest in early medieval history.
