In July 2005 did medievalists journey from France, England, and the US to Leeds to examine the nature and varieties of vengeance within such medieval contexts as a particular region, text, or social movement. Seven essays emerged into print, discussing saintly retribution in medieval Ireland, the "fyre of ire kyndlid" in the 15th-century Scottish marches, religious minorities and the right to bear arms in 15th-century Portugal, feudal war in 10th-century France, rancorous deeds and words in the world of Orderic Vitalis, verbal and physical violence in the Historie of Aurelia and Isabell, whether the High Middle Ages ever witnessed such a thing as feud, and the emotional rhetoric of crusading.
