| Abstract | This session, by focusing on the specifics of three geographic areas, seeks to highlight the significant role and impact of border warfare - politically, socially, and economically - in the Middle Ages in general. Individual papers investigate the ensuing political struggles within the Carolingian state caused or exacerbated by conflicts on its frontiers; the use of border warfare by the Florentine traditional military elites to combat shifting social challenges by a rising nouveaux riches; and the economic impact of ongoing border warfare on local communities along the Scottish marches in the late Middle Ages. |
