Motivations and mobilization in rebellion and civil war: Iberia and Scandinavia, c. 1250-1350

Abstract This article expounds on how internal military conflicts and actions - rebellions and civil wars - were motivated in the Iberian and Scandinavian areas during the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, with a particular focus on the kingdoms of Castile-León and Sweden. It also considers how military resources, both internal and external to the respective realm, were mobilized to carry out these actions. The article offers a comparison of experiences in the Castilian and the Swedish context vis-à-vis social dynamics, military composition, and outside support for contentious politics.
