“…They were not only widely practiced, but the stuff of princely vanity, with the siege even a motif in court ritual and pageantry, including as a popular metaphor deployed in tournament and carnival. 50 Further, there were the so-called rules of wars that defined the permissible boundaries of a sack, though these were less a set of codified legal points than a loose amalgamation of treatises and legal opinions. While we should exercise a healthy skepticism about whether "laws" governing late medieval warfare were as fixed as the term implies, there was still a working consensus among political rulers and their court chroniclers in northern Europe that sacking was fitting punishment for a defeated city whose defiance had gone unabated.…”

Carthage or Jerusalem? Princely Violence and the Spatial Transformation of the Medieval into the Early Modern City

This essay explores princely violence against cities and the transformation of the late medieval commune into the early modern city. Its consideration is European wide, with nascent Mexico City also studied, but its frame is the Burgundian-Habsburg urban world. Urban historians have long insisted that the transformation of the medieval commune into the Baroque city was a pivotal event in the history of modernity, the city a privileged site of and midwife to modernity. But the momentous change in civic life came not only because of the city’s commercial wealth, dense populations, and roaring economic might. Claims to political power, whether civic or princely, were enacted in the early modern city’s public places, with assertions of rulership performed at city gates, upon market spaces and other public squares, and through corporative and sacred symbols. In the early modern period, these civic spaces became marked as contested grounds, especially for those cities whose political boundaries were under the strain of dynastic rulers intent on better managing their subjects. My essay argues that princely violence against cities in the critical centuries from the late medieval to the early modern period sought to transform urban public space to better manage control over it.
