| Abstract | Previous studies of logistics, economics, culture, and networks have produced excellent work in several of these areas, such as Pryor's and Bachrach's work on crusade logistics or Craig Taylor's work on the philosophical underpinnings of morale and courage in war. The papers in this session look at different aspects of conflict - social and cultural structures, economic geographies, and logistical and moral support - and seek new insights into how medieval warfare was produced and sustained across different domains. |
