- A brief examination of warfare by medieval urban militias in Central and Northern Europe Jean Henri Chandler Historia During the medieval and Early Modern period, the Free cities of Central and Northern Europe fielded militias which collectively played an important role in European warfare. The specific military role of the burgher is not well known outside of the realm of academic specialists in the English speaking world. In order to highlight this to my fellow layperson, I have chosen a selection of significant historical events with a special focus on Lombardy, Flanders, Silesia, Bohemia and Poland, in which urban militias played an important role. The intention is to allow us to review the effectiveness, tactics and strategic impact of urban militias and their possible relationship to the martial arts of pre-industrial Europe. 2013 artículo científico 2064-0404 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=663972469007 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=6639 Acta Periodica Duellatorum application/pdf Universität Bern Acta Periodica Duellatorum (Suiza) Num.1 Vol.1
