Justifications, theories, and customs of war
The ways in which different medieval cultures justified war, theorized about war, and developed different customs that shaped the conduct of warfare varied widely. While the many “cultures of war” that emerged in the medieval world shared some basic characteristics, what is more broadly comparable are the processes or dynamics that shaped military cultures around the world. This chapter will explore, comparatively and as globally as the evidence …

Mercenaries, mamluks and militia - towards a cross-cultural typology of military service
This chapter answers three questions. First, can we arrive at a consistent, cross-cultural typology or set of definitions of the varieties of paid and unpaid military service? Second, can we make those definitions correspond, at least roughly, to variations in different societies' views of variations of military service, especially as they affected notions of the cultural identity of paid fighters? And third, can we do this without, in the words …

A "Feudal Mutation"? Conceptual Tools and Historical Patterns in World History
This article argues against the claims made in R. J. Barendse's article "The Feudal Mutation." It shows first that in philosophical and historiographical terms, feudalism is a term with no agreed definition that is being rejected by European medievalists, so that reviving it in a world historical context will confuse more than enlighten. Second, it argues that the historical process supposedly described by the term feudal mutation did not happen.…
Battle Seeking
Introduction Over the last decade or so a consensus has formed about the general shape of medieval strategy. Although R.C. Smail showed as long ago as 1956 that medieval strategy could be analyzed on its own terms, books and articles by Bernard Bachrach, John Gillingham, and others also showed that medieval strategy could be seen as following many of the fundamental precepts of Vegetius, the late Roman writer on military affairs. Thus, without ge…
Cultures of Death
In the course of the eleventh and twelfth centuries, the warrior elites of Japan and north- western Europe, despite many similarities in ethos and lifestyle, developed very different cultures of death. Japanese warriors sought battle, killed each other in battle, and killed themselves in ritual suicides. European warriors avoided battle, captured each other, and avoided suicide. This paper examines the origins of these different 'cultures of deat…
The Norwegian Invasion of England in 1066
This very accessible narrative...tells the story of 'the first two important battles of 1066', Fulford Gate and Stamford Bridge, and of the leaders of the opposing English and Norwegian factions. The evidence of later 12th- and 13th-century Norse sagas, Snorri Sturlusson's Heimskringla, and the less well known Norwegian Kings Sagas...present far more detail about the invasion and its battles than the more widely accepted sources could possibly al…
