'''Wars''' for political, ideological and spiritual causes raged across [[Europe]], the [[Middle East]] and [[Africa]] throughout the [[middle ages]]. Some were just petty land disputes (eg. [[England]] and [[France]]). Some used religion as an excuse (eg. the [[crusade]]s). Others were widespread invasions (eg. [[Mongol invasion]]). And of course, if you can't find someone-else to fight with, why not have a civil war (eg. [[War of the Roses]])!

==List of Wars==
* (1066) [[Norman Conquest]] - [[William the Conqueror]] vs [[Saxon]] [[England]]
* (1095-1270) [[Crusades]] - Western [[Europe]] vs anyone who wasn't in with the [[Catholic Church]]
* [[Hundred Years War]] - [[France]] vs [[England]]
* ([[13th century|13th C]]) [[Mongol Invasion]] - [[Mongol]]ian armies vs Eastern [[Europe]]
* [[War of the Roses]] - [[House of York]] vs [[House of Lancaster]]
etc etc.

==Wars in the SCA==
'''War''' in the [[SCA]] is an interesting sight. Battles can have any number of people and can take on a number of forms.

Often some natural feature, such as a creek crossing, or a man-made structure, such as a wall of hay bales is used to make things more interesting. Wars may take on various [[war scenario|scenarios]], or have different objectives for each battle. Others are run more like a "choose your own adventure" story, known as a [[story board war]], where each war scenario leads to a different outcome.
