The concept of the military community, with its emphasis on warfare as a collective social enterprise, has always lain at the heart of his work; he has shown in particular how this age of warfare is characterised by related but intersecting military communities, marked not only by the social and political relationships within armies and navies, but by communities of mind, experience, and enterprise. The essays in this volume, ranging from the late thirteenth to the early fifteenth century, address various aspects of this idea. They offer investigations of soldiers' and mariners' equipment; their obligations, functions, status, and recruitment; and the range and duration of their service Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Bibliography of the writings of Andrew Ayton (pages 271-273) Notes Online resource; title from digital title page (JSTOR platform, viewed December 5, 2019) Subject Military art and science -- England -- History -- Medieval, 500-1500 Communities -- England -- History -- To 1500 Knights and knighthood -- England -- History -- To 1500 Soldiers -- England -- History -- To 1500 War horses -- England -- History -- To 1500 HISTORY -- Europe -- Western.
