Recent scholarship has increasingly emphasized the importance of studying intersections and inter-connections while reconstructing how medieval societies conceived of “right order.” This book reflects the importance of this approach in its contents and thematic presentation. The medieval view of "right order" was overwhelmingly concerned with the issues given in the title: of prowess (violence, feud, chivalry, masculinity, memory, honor, and fame), of piety (belief and practice, saints, sin, and redemption, ceremony and ritual), and of public order (law, governance, justice, kingship, literary discourses on identity and power, language and meaning). Each of these themes has been explored and expanded by the work of Richard W. Kaeuper, most directly in three of his monographs- War, Justice, and Public Order (Oxford, 1988), Chivalry and Violence in Medieval Europe (Oxford, 1999), and Holy Warriors (Penn, 2009). Throughout his career, Richard Kaeuper has approached historical questions with an eye towards illuminating the inherent complexities in human ideas and ideals. He has worked to untangle the various threads holding together cultural constructs such as chivalry, licit violence, and lay piety. He has done this by examining a wide range of historical evidence, including art and literature, as a way of more completely understanding how societies created themselves. The present volume builds off of the work that Kaeuper has done in a way that contains the most recent scholarship on these interconnected themes.

The levies of Englishmen, and of French on occasion, played a much more important role in keeping order, defending the kingdom from external invasion, and putting down rebellion than is commonly assumed. The fyrd survived the Conquest, was used extensively by William I, and was even used overseas in an offensive capacity. It was used by William II to put down a rebellion, and was again used by his brother Henry to put down a rebellion. During his reign, the fyrd continued to be used by Henry I, though as a domestic force rather than an overseas one. Henry II’s attempt to reconstitute the fyrd in 1181 indicates that the system was still considered valuable.
