International Conference!

Norwegian University of Science and Technology
Trondheim, 2-4 June 2014

A conference funded by the Research Council of Norway and arranged by the Department of Historical Studies and the Faculty of Humanities at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology.


The conference aims at breaking fresh ground on the role of subaltern and lower-status groups who despite their significance have received sparse attention in the historiography of late antique and medieval warfare. Topics covered include:
       The common soldier, militias, attendants, and unfree troops
       Craftsmen, engineers, medics and other civilians specialists in war
       Women as actors and victims of war
       Policy and ideology of common people at war
▪    Captives of war and their role in economy, politics, ideology, and cultural change
