WARFARE AND SOCIETY
IN THE BARBARIAN WEST,
450–900
Warfare was an integral part of early medieval life. It had a character of its own
and was neither a pale shadow of Roman military practice nor an insignificant
precursor to the warfare of the central Middle Ages. This book recovers its
distinctiveness, looking at warfare in a rounded context in the British Isles and
western Europe between the end of the Roman Empire and the break-up of
the Carolingian Empire. The era was one of great changes in the practice of war.
Guy Halsall relates warfare to many aspects of medieval life, economy, society
and politics. He examines the raising and organisation of early medieval armies
and looks at the conduct of campaigns. The survey includes the equipment of
warriors and the horrific experience of battle as well as an analysis of medieval
fortifications and siege warfare.
Warfare and Society in the Barbarian West uses historical and archaeological
evidence in a rigorous and sophisticated fashion. It stresses regional variations
but also places Anglo-Saxon England in the mainstream of the military
developments in this era.
Guy Halsall is lecturer in medieval history at the University of York. He has
published widely on the social history and archaeology of Merovingian Gaul
and on violence in early medieval society, including Settlement and Social
Organisation. The Merovingian Region of Metz (Cambridge, 1995).
