Siege warfare was the most brutal form of war in the ancient world Typically involving whole urban societies ancient siege warfare often ended in the sack of a city and the massacre or enslavement of entire populations Assyrian emperors Alexander the Great Julius Caesar and the future Roman emperor Titus all commanded great sieges that ended in fearsome slaughters This book examines the origins of such unleashed violence and shows how the methods of siege warfare devalued the skills of traditional warriors as well as the shared values of honor and prowess that limited the violence of traditional field battlesSiege warfare was the only form of war in the ancient world in which the presence of women was common This book pays major attention to their role in sieges as both participants and victims and to the way their presence affected the nature of siege warfare The book also examines the social and moral chaos of siege warfare as the major theme in its representation in ancient literature The Bible Assyrian palace records and Greek and Roman literature contain horrifying accounts of siege warfare Ancient Hebrew prophets and Greek poets such as Homer and Euripides described it as a world without limits or structure or morality in which men violated deepseated taboos about sex pregnancy and death

In medieval warfare the siege predominated for every battle there were hundreds of sieges Yet the rich and vivid history of siege warfare has been consistently neglected Jim Bradburys panoramic survey takes the history of siege warfare in Europe from the late Roman Empire to the 16th century and includes sieges in Byzantium Eastern Europe and the areas affected by the Crusades Within this broad sweep of time and place he finds not that enormous changes occurred which might have been expected but that the rules and methods of siege warfare remained remarkably constant His narrative of the main events of siege warfare includes adetailed study of some of the major sieges Constantinople and ChateauGaillard among others and also presents evidence relating to the development of siege weapons and siege warfare A history of sieges necessarily brings the people caught up in them besieger and besieged clearly before the reader stories from chronicles and letters of danger famine endurance and heroism reach out with an immediacy that provides a powerful human context for this studyJIM BRADBURY is the author of The Medieval Archer he writes and lectures on battles and warfare in England and France in the middle ages
