Abstract	The third of the sessions in honor of Stephen D. White draws on White's seminal work on the politics of medieval 'violence'. Barton considers the conceptual fluidity of historiographical constructs of distraint, war, and violence through selected cases drawn from early 13th-century western France. Verreycken discusses the regulation of military violence in 15th-century France according to pardon letters.
