Medieval History
Warfare and power play an important role in the formation of
institutions and their manifestation in material culture. The
conference aims to bring together experts from various disciplines to
discuss key issues in the defence of territories during the period of
Viking incursions of the later eighth to eleventh centuries.
Important themes to be addressed include the landscape context of
civil defence structures, communication and logistics, and the social
and political impact of military organisation, in England and in
Europe.

Abels, Andrew Reynolds, Stuart Brookes, John Baker, Gareth Williams,
Dorn van Dommelen, Peter Ettel, Dries Tys, Johnny De Meulemeester,
