People as property? Captivity and conflict in medieval Iberia
Teresa Witcombe looks forward to expanding her work on the movement of captives of war and slaves across the Muslim-Christian frontier in medieval Iberia by considering the theological and legal status of medieval slaves and captives of war, including the codes of conduct that determined their treatment and the extent to which their humanity was recognised by their captors.
