Martial Arts: Techniques, Psychology, and Education

The period from about 1300 to 1628 witnessed the beginnings of martial law, the establishment of custom governing the situations in which it might be invoked, then a break with that custom followed by a period of widened application, and finally, a reaction, once again restricting the Crown's use of martial law. Although extended, this period needs to be understood as a coherent whole, what might be termed, the first chapter in the history of martial law in England.
