The Laws of War in the Late Middle Ages

Bag om The Laws of War in the Late Middle Ages

Many of the combatants in the European wars of the late middle ages fought for their own gain, but they observed a code of regulations, part chivalrous and part commercial which they called the ΓÇÿlaw of armsΓÇÖ. This book, originally published in 1965, examines this soldiersΓÇÖ code, to understand its rules and how they were enforced. How did a soldier sue for ransom money if his prisoner would not pay it, and before what court? How did he know whether what he took by force was lawful spoil? As the answers to these and other questions reveal, the workings of the law of arms gave practical point to the contemporary cult of chivalry. It also had an important influence on the early development of ideas of international law.
