suppose you're the king of an Anglo-Saxon kingdom, say Mercia (you can answer for somewhere else), in about 630. How many people likely live in your capital city (if that's not too grand a term) all year round? why do they choose to live there instead of in the countryside?

I've been told that a major reason Spartacus lasted as long as he did was that Rome saw no honour in defeating slaves and so wouldn't field enough forces to defeat him. Is this true? Are there many/any other instances of wars being extended because one side was too embarrassed to fight properly?
