This work contains a series of articles concerning conflict in medieval Europe. It concerns, amongst other subjects, the prevention and settlement of dispute; the role of emotions related to conflict, the language and gesture; and other major phenomena of which conflict was an aspect.

Conflict in Medieval Europe is a series of articles by several of the top scholars in the United States. Consistently with their most current work, conflict is defined broadly and inclusively, and the book concerns the prevention and settlement of dispute; the role of emotions related to conflict, such as fear, anger, or spite; the language and gesture by which conflict was articulated; other major phenomena of which conflict was an aspect-lordship, power, law, gender, and sexuality; and heuristic issues of access to these subjects through the written record.

'The papers ... are always stimulating and thought-provoking, and the whole provides a fascinating conspectus of thinking about medieval history in the USA. It is unusual in presenting itself as [sic] in these terms, and the editors are to be congratulated on the way in which they have set out the issues.' English HIstorical Review 'Brown and Górecki show in an exemplary way how to introduce an essay collection on Medieval studies, how to present the broad spectrum of sujbects in the collection, how to point the reader's own research into the right direction and how to create interest in the future developments in this subject area.'
