Quote:The WRE became effete for some other reason(s).

I see no rerason to use such a word. If you mean that the normal citizen could no longer be relied upon to man the walls in a siege, I think that such a situation could be extrapolated back centuries before the 5th c. AD. If you forbid your citizens to carry arms and then create an internal peace for a century ago, the military tradition will suffer and disappear.
