This volume aims to balance the traditional literature available on medieval feuding with an exploration of other aspects of vengeance and culture in the Middle Ages. The volume begins with an examination of the historiography of medieval vengeance as well as the difficulties of investigating such a concept in the medieval period and the pressing reasons for so doing. Interdisciplinary articles from scholars in Europe and North America then follow many contesting or enlarging traditional approaches to and interpretations of vengeance in the Middle Ages.
