Abstract
The two last centuries of the Middle Ages witnessed the worsening of private wars within Basque nobility, a phenomenon that is known as the Clash of the Bandos. In this work we shall study those mechanisms through which the Elder Parents of the lineages recruited their armed contingents and we shall try to approach their forces’ numbers and organisation, without losing sight of contemporary practices in Western Europe.
