In the late Middle Ages and early modern times, able-bodied men between sixteen and sixty years of age were called upon all over Europe to participate in raids, sieges and battles, for the defense of home and hearth. Because these men are regarded as amateurs, military historiography has paid little attention to their efforts. This book aims to change that by studying the mobilization, organization and weaponry of popular levies for a time when war was frequently waged between states in the making. Central to the book is the composition and development of the rural and urban militias in Friesland, dissected in a comparative Northwest European perspective, along with an examination of why the self-defense of the Frisians ultimately failed in their efforts to preserve their political autonomy. The main source is an extensive series of muster lists from 1552 that have survived for six cities and fourteen rural districts.

Die Zeit der englischen Besatzung Frankreichs in der letzten Phase des Hundertjährigen Krieges wurde bisher vor allem in Bezug auf politische und militärische Entwicklungen untersucht. Hiervon weitestgehend unabhängig wurde die Kunstproduktion der Zeit erforscht. In ihrer fachübergreifend zwischen politischer Kulturgeschichte und Kunstgeschichte angelegten Studie befasst sich Julia Crispin erstmalig mit der Nutzung von Kunst zur Visualisierung politischer Ansprüche durch die Repräsentanten der englischen Krone in Frankreich. Sie nimmt hierzu sowohl den Bestand erhaltener Kunstwerke, insbesondere illuminierter Handschriften, als auch die schriftliche Überlieferung zu bildlichen Inszenierungen politischer Vorstellungen im Rahmen politischer Zeremonien und Entrées in den Blick und erschließt eine Fülle von bisher unbeachtetem Quellenmaterial. Dabei fragt sie zum einen danach, welcher Motive und Traditionen man sich bediente und welche Botschaften man konkret zum Ausdruck brachte, und zum anderen, welches Publikum man jeweils erreichen wollte und tatsächlich erreichte. Ihre Arbeit leistet somit einen wichtigen Beitrag zur Erforschung der politischen Geschichte wie auch der Kunst- und Kulturgeschichte des Spätmittelalters.
