Abstract | This panel will consider recruitment and defence in later medieval England and Wales. It aims to place two core topics of military history within new contexts. The levying of troops in a cross-cultural setting will be discussed in two papers on the Welsh knights' fees and on the Welshmen serving in the armies of the later medieval English kings. The third paper will consider the defences of Southampton in the round, giving due emphasis to the links between communities and combatants. |
