Your portal to warfare in the Middle Ages



Welcome to De Re Militari: the Society for Medieval Military History. Founded in 1992, De Re Militari is an academic organization for the study of medieval warfare, broadly construed. It has three major outlets for its educational activities. First is this website, which hosts many scholarly articles, primary sources, book reviews, and other resources for the study of military actions, technology, and topics from the fall of Rome to early seventeenth century. Second is our conference activity: each year, De Re Militari sponsors panels at internatonal conferences on medieval studies and military history. Third, since 2003 De Re Militari has published (through The Boydell Press, distributed by Casemate), the periodical Journal of Medieval Military History (JMMH), the premier journal in the subfield.

We encourage you to browse through our site and utilize our free resources for teaching and research. In addition, please consider joining De Re Militari! Members receive the JMMH at a drastically-reduced price, are eligible to serve as society officers, and may be invited to review new books in medieval military history for the site.
