I am just watching a medical drama and doctors without borders are working in a refugee camp in Dafur, with anyone leaving the camp at high risk of rape, beating up or being shot. I know the UK has had all sorts of events such as arrival of the Romans, the Anglo Saxons, the Vikings, the Normans and then the Empress Maud vs Stephen wars, the War of the Roses, the English Civil War. From what I know of the English Civil War, for the civilian population, there was some degree of order as in villages took to objecting to being taxed twice in the same week by garrisons from opposing sides and would turn out with pitchforks and anything else they had to hand to tell the second bunch of tax collectors to push off - and this was generally respected. (Either out of respect for their countrymen, or because if you kill the farmers there is no more farming.) I am just curious as to how things went in the UK during the various wars, and if they were different, why? If law and order were maintained, how did that happen?
Sorry, we don't allow "example seeking" questions. It's not that your question was bad; it's that these kinds of questions tend to produce threads that are collections of disjointed, partial, inadequate responses. If you have a question about a specific historical event, period, or person, feel free to rewrite your question and submit it again. If you don't want to rewrite it, you might try submitting it to /r/history, /r/askhistory, or /r/tellmeafact.
For further explanation of the rule, feel free to consult this META thread.
