  • Disaggregating Aggravated Assault

    Open AccessNicole J Johnson, Tom Scott et al.ARTICLECrime & Delinquency2025

    Diverse forms of nonfatal gun violence are grouped into a single aggravated assault offense category in national law enforcement crime data, limiting the development of targeted crime prevention efforts. This study assesses how nonfatal shootings differ from other forms of aggravated gun assault that do not involve a nonfatal shooting. A fuzzy matching procedure was used to link data from three local police departments to national crime data, all…

  • Soldgeschäfte, Klientelismus, Korruption in der Frühen Neuzeit

    Open AccessTom ScottARTICLEGerman History2019

    Recent studies of mercenary service and pensions in the Swiss Confederation have done much to revise the traditional picture of Swiss ‘neutrality’ and the receipt of foreign pensions. Christoph Windler, Benjamin Hitz and Philippe Rogger, to name only the most prominent, have sought to place the Swiss experience in a wider European context and to analyse the broader issues of patronage, venality and ‘corruption’. The present volume stems from a co…

  • Verhandelte Stadt

    Open AccessTom ScottARTICLEGerman History2019

    Research on the growth of towns in medieval Alsace over the past generation has been intense, but it has focused, chronologically, mostly on the centuries before 1500 and, typologically, on identifying indicators of urban quality. Elaborate schemes of determining urban status have been put forward. They include circumvallation, the use of a common seal, the right to reserve legal matters to the commune alone (the jus de non evocando), alongside c…

  • The Problem of Nationalism in the Early Reformation

    Tom ScottARTICLERenaissance and Reformation2018

    Historians frequently dismiss any use of the term nationalism in the pre-modern period as conceptually illegitimate. In the early Reformation in Germany, the welter of confusing and competing terms to describe Luther’s audience—“nation,” “tongue,” “fatherland,” patria—appears to confirm that scepticism. At a regional level, however, where the descriptor Land lacks a precise English equivalent, a consciousness of local identity with undeniable “na…

  • The Swiss and their Neighbours, 1460-1560

    Tom ScottBOOKThe Swiss and their Neighbours,…2017

    Renewed interest in Swiss history has sought to overcome the old stereotypes of peasant liberty and republican exceptionalism. The heroic age of the Confederation in the fifteenth century is now seen as a turning point as the Swiss polity achieved a measure of institutional consolidation and stability, and began to mark out clear frontiers. This book questions both assumptions. It argues that the administration of the common lordships by the cant…

  • The Logic of Political Conflict in Medieval Cities

    Open AccessTom ScottARTICLEThe English Historical Review2016

    At the heart of Patrick Lantschner’s argument in this book lies the contention that European cities were not monolithic but polycentric, so that factionalism and conflict were inherent in their political make-up. In that, the author contends, European cities in general did not deviate significantly from patterns of urban dissent and rebelliousness encountered in the cities of the Near or Far East. Against the grain of arguments advanced by Charle…

  • Habsburger Herrschaft vor Ort weltweit (1300–1600)

    Tom ScottARTICLEGerman History2015

    Among the profusion of recent studies on the Holy Roman Empire, the volume edited by Bob Evans and Peter Wilson, entitled The Holy Roman Empire, 1495–1806: A European Perspective (reviewed in German History 31, 3, 2013), did much to cast light on the non-German periphery of the many domains under Habsburg rule. It was pointed out, however, that more could have been said about territories which had once been or which remained central to Habsburg p…

  • Città e campagne del basso medioevo

    Open AccessTom ScottARTICLEThe English Historical Review2015

    Giuliano Pinto is a distinguished scholar whose principal writings have focused on town–country relations—a perennial topic of Italian historiography. This Festschrift brings together eleven essays by Pinto’s students, some of which venture beyond the scope of the title. Maria Ginatempo updates her studies of medieval population to survey the lesser urban communes of the centre-north (Chittolini’s quasi-città ), many of which succeeded in maintai…

  • Writing and the Administration of Medieval Towns

    Open AccessTom ScottARTICLEThe English Historical Review2015

    The thirty-three essays in these two volumes (Utrecht Studies in Medieval Literacy, vols. 27 and 28) span a wide chronological and geographical range: from the tenth to the sixteenth century, from Scandinavia to the Mediterranean, and from the Atlantic to the Black Sea. Just under half the essays are devoted to eastern Europe, from Livonia to Poland, Ruthenia, Hungary, Transylvania and Croatia. In descending order, a further six treat the Low Cou…

  • The City-State in Europe, 1000-1600Hinterland, Territory, Region

    Tom ScottBOOKCity-State in Europe, 1000-16002012

    This book provides the first comprehensive study of city‐states in medieval Europe for more than a century. Rather than highlighting the political and cultural achievements of city‐states, above all those of central and northern Italy, it offers a detailed comparison of city‐states in an urban belt which spanned the Alps from Italy to Switzerland, Germany, and the Low Countries, focusing on their territorial expansion: Why, how, and with what con…

  • City-State in Europe, 1000-1600

    Tom ScottBOOKCity-State in Europe, 1000-16002012

    "No detailed comparison of the city-state in medieval Europe has been undertaken over the last century. Research has concentrated on the role of city-states and their republican polities as harbingers of the modern state, or else on their artistic and cultural achievements, above all in Italy. Much less attention has been devoted to the cities' territorial expansion: why, how, and with what consequences cities in the urban belt, stretching from c…

    This collection of essays covers relations between town and country, regional economic systems, and historical regional studies in late medieval and early modern Germany, in particular how these bear upon social and religious change in the age of the Reformation. Starting from case-studies of South-West Germany, Switzerland and Alsace, the essays broaden out to consider the formation of economic landscapes, the development of urban territories, a…

  • The German Peasants' War and the "Crisis of Feudalism." Reflections On a Neglected Theme

    Tom ScottARTICLEJournal of Early Modern History2002

    The view that the Peasants' War stemmed from a "crisis of feudalism" has been principally advanced by Peter Blickle. His dominant interpretation of the War fuses the late medieval economic crisis and the struggle for territorial consolidation by means of a revived serfdom into a general crisis of feudalism. But this argument underplays the profound changes already underway in the social and economic structure of the main areas of revolt—the comme…
