Discuss the role of territorial disputes in causing two medieval wars.

The question requires that candidates offer a considered and balanced review of the role of territorial disputes in causing two medieval wars. The two wars may or may not be from the same region and they may or may not have occurred at the same time. The territorial disputes discussed may predate the timeframe but they must be clearly linked to wars that took place between 750 and 1500. A comparative approach may or may not be used. Candidates may refer to conflict arising from attempts at territorial acquisition for strategic, economic or political purposes. While other relevant factors may be referred to, for example religious disputes or economic competition, the bulk of the response will remain on territorial disputes.
