MEDI 360 topic: Medieval Warfare

How and why did people fight in the Middle Ages? Take a look at the medieval societies of Europe, Byzantium, the Islamic world and Asia to trace how cultures represented victory and defeat.

Examine cross-cultural connections in technology, military strategy and institutions. Explore texts and physical evidence, including art, architecture and archaeological finds that will help us understand not only how people fought in the past but the appeal, uses and misuses of medieval warfare today.
