Summary

"This book focuses on three English civil wars: the civil war of King Stephen's reign; the War of the Roses; and the civil war of the seventeenth century. The civil wars are considered within a wider European context, and characteristics of civil war are discussed alongside developments in European warfare." "The nine contributors to the book deal with the general theme of the interacton of war and society rather than the details of individual campaigns and battles. The book is concerned with the nature of war and the way it was conducted in the medieval and early modern periods, as well as the way it has been recorded and interpreted by contemporaries and later commentators."--Jacket
