description The place of soldiers in the practices of agreement and appeasement at the end of the Middle Ages is still largely unknown. Investigating the letters of remission granted by the King of France and the Duke of Burgundy in the 15th century shows that combatants were not exempt from the imperative of reconciliation, particularly in the context of the pardon procedure, where the “peace to party” was an essential step of the endorsement of the letters. Moreover, the resolution of a conflict in the army often required the intervention of military authorities, who often played the role of intermediaries or arbitrators between the parties. On a more general scale, the proclamation of an abolition after the conclusion of a peace treaty definitively erased the violence committed on both sides and therefore facilitated the easing of tensions between belligerents.
