Focusing on the military aristocracy's behavior during conflicts from the Norman Conquest to King John's reign, this study emphasizes conduct in battle and siege over tactics. It delves into themes such as ransom practices, treatment of prisoners, the concept of "brotherhood in arms" among noble adversaries, and interactions between knights, peasantry, and churchmen during wartime. This comprehensive examination sheds light on the social dynamics and ethical considerations of warfare in medieval England and Normandy.
