The first bit only happens when its profitable for either party to be this way. In another cases please consult the Geneva Checklist. Back then were particularly cruel times in this regard and rebellions is what every sovereign is paranoid about. No matter how small. Infact, its a precedent thats never quite stopped if you look closely at even the recent history too. Its pirate logic - ultra-violence now to deter future attempts later.
The reason was class, when a nobleman was fighting another it was more profitable to capture him and force him to pay a ransom, while poor people didnt have money, so it was easier to just kill them, the same thing happened in the 100 years war, where both armies where full of infantry that had neither the money to pay for a ransom nor the means to ask for one, so they would just kill the nobles and steal whatever gold they had on them
On the surface level, it makes sense, rebels are more dangerous politically to your polity than some foreign invader, who you can rally against. In reality, the former really only happened when it was politically convenient, armies regularly showed little mercy to opponents, domestic and foreign alike.
