Warfare in Medieval Europe c.400–c.1453
Warfare in Medieval Europe, now in its second edition, offers considerably more attention to the transition from the later Roman Empire to the early Middle Ages, the composition of the armies of the opponents of the West, and the experience of commanders and individual combatants on the battlefield. This second revised and expanded edition provides a more in-depth thematic discussion of the nature and conduct of war, with an emphasis on its overa…

Military Intelligence and Long-Term Planning in the Ninth Century
Historians of warfare in the western tradition have devoted considerable attention to the problem of military intelligence from the Greek and Persian wars of the fifth century B.C.E. up to the recent past. Strikingly absent from this conversation, however, has been the treatment of the acquisition and analysis of information for military purposes in pre-Crusade Europe, particularly in the Carolingian and immediate post-Carolingian world. In part,…

Empires and Bureaucracy in World History
How did empires rule different peoples across vast expanses of space and time? And how did small numbers of imperial bureaucrats govern large numbers of subordinated peoples? Empires and Bureaucracy in World History seeks answers to these fundamental problems in imperial studies by exploring the power and limits of bureaucracy. The book is pioneering in bringing together historians of antiquity and the Middle Ages with scholars of post-medieval E…
Bruno of Merseburg and his historical method, c .1085
Bruno of Merseburg wrote his history of the war between the Saxons and King Henry IV c.1085. Scholars generally have treated Bruno's text as a polemic and consequently of relatively little historical value except insofar as it corroborates material found in other contemporary sources such as Lampert of Hersfeld's more highly regarded Annales. The main historical value of Bruno's text has been seen in his embedding of some two dozen letters in his…
Verbruggen's “Cavalry” and the Lyon-Thesis
Merovingian mercenaries and paid soldiers in imperial perspective
This chapter begins with the firm conviction, shared by many other scholars, that the various barbarians, including Franks, who came to dwell within the borders of Roman Gaul from the later third century forward were greatly acculturated. In this context, it is clear that agricultural organization in Gaul during the early period of barbarian settlement was based upon Roman models. These subsequently underwent substantial new development with the …

Some Observations on Administration and Logistics of the Siege of Nicaea
The writing of medieval military history, at present, is dominated by a romantic emphasis on ‘chivarly’ and ‘knightly’ individualism. This parti pris fundamentally distorts the history of medieval warfare and undermines a proper understanding of medieval society by making it seem intrinsically alien to both Roman and early modern military culture. In this study of a siege, which dominated warfare during the Middle Ages, the material realities hav…

A reappraisal of medieval mysticism & hysteria
This paper examines the historical association between medieval mysticism and asceticism and the psychopathological condition of hysteria. We first review the particular forms of medieval mysticism and asceticism that seem to have inspired modern psychiatrists and reductive historians to dismiss these phenomena as indubitably neurotic behaviours. Then we review the concept of hysteria as it evolved during the last two centuries for points of conv…

Charlemagne and the Carolingian General Staff
Early Carolingian Warfare
Without the complex military machine that his forbears had built up over the course of the eighth century, it would have been impossible for Charlemagne to revive the Roman empire in the West. Early Carolingian Warfare is the first book-length study of how the Frankish dynasty, beginning with Pippin II, established its power and cultivated its military expertise in order to reestablish the regnum Francorum, a geographical area of the late Roman p…

Medieval Dynastic Decisions: Evolutionary Biology and Historical Explanation It often occurs in studying the past that the actions of individuals appear puzzling when viewed with conventional historiographical lenses. In this article, we examine two cases in Angevin history that resist analysis based on historical models of causation such as raison d'etat, economic exploitation, or geopolitical advantage, and therefore invite exploration through …

On the Origins of William the Conqueror's Horse Transports
The Norman invasion of England in 1066 has engaged medievalists in vigorous controversy for centuries. At the heart of the matter is this question: How did Duke William obtain the massive fleet and trained personnel needed to carry out the largest amphibious operation in western Europe since the early days of the Roman Empire? Here, my purpose is to explore one aspect of a set of related problems concerning William's logistics, namely, the means …
Toward a reappraisal of William the Great, duke of Aquitaine (995–1030)
William, duke of Aquitaine and count of Poitou, has won a glowing reputation from historians for his personal piety and his active support of religious reform. Scholars have given him the sobriquet ‘the Great’, and he is traditionally regarded as one of those overmighty subjects whose fame and power eclipsed their less accomplished Capetian contemporaries. As count and duke, however, William clearly had responsibilities that went beyond support o…

Was there Feudalism in Byzantine Egypt
A curious situation exists concerning feudalism in Byzantine Egypt. There seems to be little or no disagreement among Byzantinists concerning the nature of the Egyptian institutions, but a considerable amount of confusion concerning the relation of these institutions to Western feudalism. For example, H. I. Bell maintained that Byzantine Egypt was semifeudal, believing that the importance of the semi-autonomous landed magnates gave the age its ch…

The Origin of Armorican Chivalry
About 1120 Stephen of Llandaff, the author of the Life of Saint Teilo (a Welsh saint of the early sixth century with close Armorican connections), tells how the saint prayed to the Lord that the Armoricans would become the best horsemen in the world. The author goes on to say that Teilo's prayers were answered and that even today (ca. 1120) the Armoricans are seven times more effective on horseback than on

Early Medieval Fortifications in the "West" of France
During the past twenty-five years scholars have become increasingly aware of the inadequacy of the technical vocabulary available for describing medieval fortifications. For example, the French word chateau is currently used to denote numerous structures varying from fortified private dwellings to grandiose 16th-century country houses to massive castles like Crac des Chevaliers. By contrast, the English word castle evokes an image of the vast mil…

For more than a century scholars have agreed that Fulk Nerra, known to some as Builder, constructed or saw to the construction of perhaps as many as thirty strongholds, most made of stone, in the county of Anjou and its environs during his reign (987-1040).' Recently this view has come under severe attack. In 1957 Jean Hubert argued that the traditional view that Fulk built a stone donjon at Langeais circa 993-94 cannot be sustained from the writ…

It was Henry’s reign, according to Kealey, that set a standard and an exam ple lor succeeding generations of English rulers, though few were able to do as much as he did. I accept Kealey’s findings but wish he had done more. His study, subtitled a social history, is essentially a kind of antiquarian study, albeit one ol the best of its kind. Kealey d…
