The relationship between the military and law has been recognised as a desideratum for quite some time, particularly with regard to the early modern period. The edited volume intends to fill this historiographical gap. It explores a hitherto neglected field in the history of early modern Europe at the crossroads between the histories of law, crime and criminal justice as well as war. The collected essays revolve around the central questions of legal norms in the context of historical change, the formation and institutionalisation of specific jurisdictions as well as the underlying transformation of early modern (military) societies. Furthermore, the volume explores the legal practice of the period, its evolution and the associated scholarly discourse, with the latter forming the background for a discussion of the continuities and ruptures vis-à-vis the 19th century.
