| Abstract | This session will focus on warfare in two European regions traditionally considered as peripheral; Iberia and Scandinavia, with a particular emphasis on aspects of warfare inherent to these societies and unknown in other parts of Western Europe. The first paper will explore how during the 12th and 13th centuries, Scandinavia underwent deep socio-political changes and outbreaks of internecine warfare, which deeply changed how war was waged. The second paper will discuss the perception and the exercise of leadership in 15th-century Castile, dealing with the military formation of the nobility as well as their access to leadership and its efficacy. The final paper will analyse how Basque nobility was involved in a series of private wars with different phases during the Late Middle Ages. |
