NAN NAN again! MY friends seem to want me to ask their questions!SO,why did battles accure so often in medevil times?
from my friend-

one who must not be named
duncan Why do they accure now? Why are wars going on right now today in many parts of the world?
I'm not being rude just pointing out nothing has changed, people are what they are and the reasons for war or conflects are much the same as they always have been either between neighbors or countrys.
The middle east and Korea for example have never stopped their very old disputes.
NAN good thinking dunkin!!!- Brooke is a bit odd!

Llywelyn Greetings,

Well, the above answer is good, but it can be narrowed down a bit.
There were many reasons depending on the time in the middle ages. Earlier on at the fall of the Carolinian empire when feudalism was at its height, often it was just a desire for a neighbors land. There was also the cause for the Hundred Years War. Edward claimed France for himself as part of his feudal lands. This was a great reason to go to war. The fighting came and went as the funds did.
Things like the crusades were inspired by the Church at the time. A few did go to the crusades with a desire to drive the infidel from the holy land. Others went for the glory and booty. Others were promised forgivness of sins if they went. etc...
This is just a couple examples, and though they are different reasons than modern wars and conflicts, the same base modivations drive them, as Duncan pointed out.

duncan If you look very close at what is going on today, and i meen behind what is said by the media and politicos, where lies the difference?

Merlin The feud was, to a certain degree of violence and destruction, a tolerated and thereby 'normal' way to decide a conflict between neighbours, heirs, cities, bishops, ... Only if a local warlord went to far (f.e. by disturbing important trade-routes or taking important persons as hostages), the king, earl or count of that area would take some action (if he was not involved himself).
