I've been looking at some battles in the past where the winning army just broke discipline at the sight of huge amount of loot up for grabs. Like the battle of Keresztes 1596 or the battle of Vitoria 1813. In the case of Keresztes, this cost the Habsburg army what would have been certain victory. In Vitoria, the Brits were commanded by one of the best generals of the time. Was there any good way of keeping discipline? Were there any cases in history when the army kept its cool at the sight of abandoned enemy fortune?
Were the soldiers allowed to keep loot their loot? Or were there cases when the army made them turn it in?
