Bruno of Merseburg’s Saxon War: a study in eleventh-century German military history / Bachrach, David S; Bachrach, Bernard S   Journal Article
Bachrach, David S Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract Medieval Germany was wracked by civil war throughout the 1060s–1080s. Among our best sources for this conflict is Bruno of Merseburg, whose historical work The Saxon War treats many aspects of the wars between King Henry IV (1056–1106) and his opponents. Unfortunately, neither this text nor the military history of Germany in the eleventh century have received much attention from scholars focusing on the nature and conduct of war. The burden of this study, therefore, is to illuminate Bruno’s treatment of military matters, and consider how his work can be used to understand warfare in eleventh-century Germany.

Restructuring the eastern frontier: Henry I of Germany, 924-936 / Bachrach, David S   Journal Article
Bachrach, David S Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2014.
Summary/Abstract The military achievements of Otto I of Germany (r. 936-973) tend to overshadow those of his father Henry I (r. 919-936). It was the first king of the Saxon dynasty, however, who established the foundations of the German Empire. One important development was the creation of a defense-in-depth against Hungarian raiders between the Saale and Elbe rivers. From the mid-920s through the mid-930s, Henry I secured this region through the construction of dozens of fortifications with garrisons able to interdict hostile forces. This study traces the steps by which Henry achieved his military aims, and discusses how the study of military affairs illuminates the administration of the Ottonian kingdom.
