Book Description
The Lords of Battle examines the image of the comitatus, or warband, as it is portrayed in literary and historical sources from Britain's early medieval period to determine the extent to which this image reflects an historical reality.Through an extensive use of a variety of source material, poems, charters, artefacts, the book investigates both the structure of the warband, and the practices and institutions which supported it.
