I have a paper to do for uni on a topic about prisoners in early modern Europe.
I can chose any theme and approach I want. But I have to use some published primary sources.
I was thinking about writing the paper on prisoners during the Thirty Years' War.
If you have better ideas, feel free to recommend.
Can someone help me find the literature and sources?
Define early modern.
There will be quite a lot of info on English Civil War POWs. Most were housed in churches and cathedrals, giving them opportunity to smash up surviving medieval effigies ano paintings

Well I guess it could be defined as from 16th until the end of the 18th century.
English Civil war could work, I'll look into it. Thanks.
No help?

I was thinking about incorporating Hugo Grotius' The Rights of War and Peace in this, since he wrote it in the midst of the wars and has a small chapter on prisoners as well.
But I still got nothing solid.

Yeah I could use this as one of the examples, too bad there are no citations on the page.

Well of course, it's just that I'm starting on it seriously tomorrow and I'm just getting some literature and where to look etc. over the internet while relaxing from a horrible week.
Anyone got this book in pdf?
