In open battle and in the plundering expeditions that constituted the normal form of aggressive warfare, they needed the backing of archers, both mounted and on foot, and of numerous infantrymen.
Besides, away from their home base, knights were useless on their own.

The treaty between Robert II of Flanders and Henry I of England, renewed by their successors, stipulated that each knight supplied to the English king should bring three horses with him β€” this at a time when a horse represented a major investment.
Similarly, campaigning in the field imposed an increasing financial burden.

Peregrine Worsthorne, for example, used the ferocity of the confrontations in Handsworth, Brixton, and Tottenham to argue that there was a major question mark over the possibility of assimilating the β€˜ coloured population ’ into mainstream β€˜ British values ’ (Sunday Telegraph, 29 September 1985).

This is an important topic since 95 per cent of rural households in the USA consume only groundwater, while half the US population consumes at least some groundwater (Merchant et al. 1987).
A major worry has been the threat posed by groundwater pollution and some research has been conducted on using GIS to monitor this (Merchant et al. 1987; Barringer et al. 1987; von Braun 1988).

But the structure and functioning of grinding or chewing teeth in other mammals, in which opposing teeth co-operate in action, and which can be matched in extinct, unrelated mammals, is a much more subtle matter, involving detailed studies on the operation of living dental systems to help elucidate the functioning of fossil ones.
Sometimes these similarities are quite obvious: the ferocious teeth of a predatory dinosaur are a sure indication of hunting habits, with hardly a glance at the fangs of living mammalian carnivores.
The technique of β€˜ hunt the analogue ’ is a favourite one practised by palaeontologists, but it is certainly not a foolproof one, because there are many fossil animals that defy comparison with living organisms, and some analogues do not stand up to detailed scrutiny.

The law must resort to some kind of moral and social evaluation of conduct if it is to identify and separate out the most heinous killings.
