War and Conflict in Premodern Societies Disability and War in the Late Middle Ages: Becoming, Surviving, Managing, (Hardcover)

Issues relating to disability and war remain largely overlooked by military and disability historians. This exclusion is all the more striking since there was hardly a more likely place for receiving permanent injury than a battle, and we can barely imagine a worse place for disabled people than a battlefield. This volume aims to shed new light on a topic pertaining to multiple fields of research: social history, technical medical history, disability history, military history, and the Genesis of the Modern State.<p></p> This book gathers specialists of premodern history to bring together new research from a variety of disciplines--history, archaeology, literature, and modern medicine--and working with diverse sources, such as account books, biographies, poems, romance texts, Icelandic sagas, petitions and pardon letters, post-battle records, prostheses, skeletons and funerary treatments, chronicles, and theoretical treatises.<p></p>
