The Frisian Popular Militias Between 1480 And 1560
In the late Middle Ages and early modern times, able-bodied men between sixteen and sixty years of age were called upon all over Europe to participate in raids, sieges and battles, for the defense of home and hearth. Because these men are regarded as amateurs, military historiography has paid little attention to their efforts. This book aims to change that by studying the mobilization, organization and weaponry of popular levies for a time when war was frequently waged between states in the making. Central to the book is the composition and development of the rural and urban militias in Friesland, dissected in a comparative Northwest European perspective, along with an examination of why the self-defense of the Frisians ultimately failed in their efforts to preserve their political autonomy. The main source is an extensive series of muster lists from 1552 that have survived for six cities and fourteen rural districts.
De Friese volkslegers tussen 1480 en 1560
In de late middeleeuwen deden vrije mannen overal in Noordwest-Europa als dienstplichtigen mee aan raids, belegeringen en veldslagen. Omdat ze als amateurs te boek staan, heeft de militaire geschiedschrijving tot dusver weinig oog voor hun inzet gehad. Dit boek wil hierin verandering brengen. Het gaat over de volksweerbaarheid en volksbewapening in Friesland tussen 1480 en 1560, een tijdvak waarin vaak en fel is gevochten in de Noordelijke Nederlanden. Hans Mol beschrijft de samenstelling en ontwikkeling van de Friese boeren- en burgermilities. Hij onderzoekt tevens waarom de zelfverdediging van de Friezen uiteindelijk faalde bij hun streven om hun politieke autonomie te bewaren. Hoofdbron voor deze studie is een omvangrijke serie monsterlijsten uit 1552 die voor zes steden en veertien Friese plattelandsdistricten zijn overgeleverd. Ze bevatten per dorp of wijk uitvoerige beschrijvingen van alle weerplichtige mannen met hun namen en uitrusting. Het boek bevat een editie hiervan.
