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.

As part of the Göttingen-based research project "Kleinüberlieferung mehrstimmiger Musik vor 1550 in deutschem Sprachraum" (Minor Transmission of Polyphonic Music Before 1550 in German-Speaking Areas), the Professor Emeritus for Historical Musicology, Martin Staehelin, has systematically indexed previously unknown late medieval sources from Germany and Switzerland. His extensive analysis of various works, including those from the collections of Basel monasteries, the Kassel University Library and the Herzog August Library in Wolfenbüttel, is prefaced by a chapter that presents the technical terms, research criteria and academic relevance of the theme. Im Zuge des Göttinger Forschungsunternehmens "Kleinüberlieferung mehrstimmiger Musik vor 1550 im deutschen Sprachraum" hat der emeritierte Professor für Historische Musikwissenschaften, Martin Staehelin, bisher unbekannte Quellen des Spätmittelalters aus Deutschland und der Schweiz systematisch erschlossen. Der ausführlichen Analyse unterschiedlicher Werke u.a. aus den baslerischen Klosterbeständen, der Universitätsbibliothek Kassel und der Herzog August Bibliothek zu Wolfenbüttel ist ein Grundlagenkapitel zu Sachbegriffen, Untersuchungskriterien und wissenschaftlicher Relevanz des Themas vorangestellt.

This open access book analyses the practice of banishment and what it can tell us about the values of late medieval society concerning morally acceptable behaviour. It focuses on the Dutch town of Kampen and considers the exclusion of offenders through banishment and the redemption of individuals after their exile. Banishment was a common punishment in late medieval Europe, especially for sexual offences. In Kampen it was also meted out as a consequence of the non-payment of fines, after which people could arrange repayment schemes which allowed them to return. The books firstly considers the legal context of the practice of banishment, before discussing punishment in Kampen more generally. In the third chapter the legal practice of banishment as a punitive and coercive measure is discussed. The final chapter focuses on the redemption of exiles, either because their punishment was completed, or because they arranged for the payment of outstanding fines.

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.
