A single engagement in a [[war]] between two or more [[army|armies]], generally with a single objective. Most [[medieval]] battles were either fought openly on a [[battlefield]] or [[siege|sieges]] of fortifications.

Historical battles are frequently named after nearby communities or physical features, for example, the [[Battle of Hastings]].

*The [[Battle of Badon Hill]]
*The [[Battle of Stamford Bridge]]
*The [[Battle of Hastings]]
*The [[Battle of Poitiers]]
*The [[Battle of Agincourt]]
*The [[Battle of Stirling Bridge]]

== Battles in the SCA ==

Types of battles are generally determined by two factors: what the objective is, and what sort of terrain the battle is held upon. Examples of common [[SCA]] battles are:

* Open field -- [[kill]] all the opposing [[fighter|fighters]]
* Bridge battle -- take or hold a bridge from the enemy.
* Woods battles -- like open fields, but with obstacles like trees.
* Castle attack -- take or hold a castle or defensive position.

Other forms of battles are possible, with goals like "keep a specific fighter alive," or "escort a non-combatant from one side of the field to the other," with the only real limitation being what the [[marshal]] can dream up.
