Pour une anthropologie du prélèvement seigneurial dans les campagnes médiévales
Author: Monique Bourin
Publisher: Publications de la Sorbonne
ISBN: 9782859444891
Category : Corvée
Languages : fr
Pages : 708
Book Description
Cet ouvrage est issu du travail d'un petit groupe de médiévistes européens, désireux de réfléchir ensemble, avec et par-delà leurs différences de langue et de formation, au possible renouvellement des approches de l'histoire sociale et économique du Moyen Age. Comment les paysans ressentent-ils la fiscalité seigneuriale au Moyen Age ? Peut-on, à travers une documentation écrite par et pour les seigneurs, entendre des voix paysannes ? L'approche est d'abord historiographique : la seigneurie, analysée comme un assemblage de droits fonciers et politiques d'origine différente, est une vision qui n'a pas été adoptée par tous les médiévistes européens : est-elle acceptable partout ? Est-elle opératoire, lorsqu'on envisage les paiements et les services du côté des paysans ? Les points de vue se croisent dans des études de cas appartenant à diverses régions d'Europe. Ils se croisent aussi dans des études de thèmes transversaux, où éclatent à la fois des caractéristiques européennes communes et, dans le détail, une infinie variété de préoccupations et de choix. Que disent les chartes de franchises des opinions paysannes ? Les corvées sont-elles oppressives ou des moments de réunion quasi festifs ? Ici les dîmes sont bien admises et là abhorrées. Le prélèvement peut être objectivement léger et insupportable ou lourd sans créer de résistances fortes. L'enquête entamée ici méritera d'être complétée au gré des régions et des historiens.

The Various Models of Lordship in Europe between the Ninth and Fifteenth Centuries
Author: Antonio Antonetti
Publisher: Cambridge Scholars Publishing
ISBN: 1527529096
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 371
Book Description
The status of lord represented one of the most original solutions to the political and social transitions of the Medieval period. Questions still remain unanswered and require further investigation, thus many scholars have collaborated to produce this collection which offers a synthesis of the most recent scholarship. This book relates the workings of seigneurial systems in different areas of Europe, from the Baltic to the Mediterranean, from Castile to Pontus. In this way, the perspective remains the same, institutional and material. This book emphasises both the institutional and informal forms of lordship identified and crystallised by social and political actors (for example, communities, sovereigns, nobles, bishops, and abbots). It offers a general framework for those approaching the subject for the first time and a useful in-depth tool with numerous regional cases for long-term scholars.

Egyptian Deportations of the Late Bronze Age
Author: Christian Langer
Publisher: Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG
ISBN: 3110732114
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 486
Book Description
Egyptian Deportations of the Late Bronze Age explores the political economy of deportations in New Kingdom Egypt (ca. 1550–1070 BCE) from an interdisciplinary angle. The analysis of ancient Egyptian primary source material and the international correspondence of the time draws a comprehensive picture of the complex and far-reaching policies. The dataset reveals their geographic scope, economic and demographic impact in Egypt and abroad as well as their interconnection with territorial expansion, international relations, and labour management. The supply chain, profiting institutions and individuals in Egypt as the well as the labour tasks, origins and the composition of the deportees are discussed in detail. A comparative analytical framework integrates the Egyptian policies with a review of deportation discourses as well as historical premodern and modern cases and enables a global and diachronic understanding of the topic. The study is thus the first systematic investigation of deportations in ancient Egyptian history and offers new insights into Egyptian governance that revise previous assessments of the role of forced migration und unfree labour in ancient Egyptian society and their long-term effects.

Medieval Europe
Author: Chris Wickham
Publisher: Yale University Press
ISBN: 0300222211
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 495
Book Description
A spirited history of the changes that transformed Europe during the 1,000-year span of the Middle Ages: “A dazzling race through a complex millennium.”—Publishers Weekly The millennium between the breakup of the western Roman Empire and the Reformation was a long and hugely transformative period—one not easily chronicled within the scope of a few hundred pages. Yet distinguished historian Chris Wickham has taken up the challenge in this landmark book, and he succeeds in producing the most riveting account of medieval Europe in a generation. Tracking the entire sweep of the Middle Ages across Europe, Wickham focuses on important changes century by century, including such pivotal crises and moments as the fall of the western Roman Empire, Charlemagne’s reforms, the feudal revolution, the challenge of heresy, the destruction of the Byzantine Empire, the rebuilding of late medieval states, and the appalling devastation of the Black Death. He provides illuminating vignettes that underscore how shifting social, economic, and political circumstances affected individual lives and international events—and offers both a new conception of Europe’s medieval period and a provocative revision of exactly how and why the Middle Ages matter. “Far-ranging, fluent, and thoughtful—of considerable interest to students of history writ large, and not just of Europe.”—Kirkus Reviews, (starred review) Includes maps and illustrations

The Clash of Legitimacies
Author: Andrea Gamberini
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0192557599
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 256
Book Description
The Clash of Legitimacies makes an innovative contribution to the history of the state-building process in late medieval Lombardy (during the 13th to 15th centuries), by illuminating myriad conflicts attending the legitimacy of power and authority at different levels of society. Through the analysis of the rhetorical forms and linguistic repertoires deployed by the many protagonists (not only the prince, but also the cities, communities, peasants, and political factions) to express their own ideals of shared political life, this volume reveals the depth of the conflicts in which opposing political actors were not only inspired by competing material interests - as in the traditional interpretation to be found in previous historiography - but also often were guided by differing concepts of authority. From this comes a largely new image of the late medieval and early Renaissance state, one without a monopoly of force - as has been shown in many studies since the 1970s - and one that did not even have the monopoly of legitimacy. The limitations of attempts by governors to present the political principles that inspired their acts as shared and universally recognized are revealed by a historical analysis firmly intent on investigating the existence, in particular territorial or social ambits, of other political cultures which based obedience to authority on different, and frequently original, ideals.

The Routledge Handbook of Public Taxation in Medieval Europe
Author: Denis Menjot
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1000736369
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 690
Book Description
Beginning in the twelfth century, taxation increasingly became an essential component of medieval society in most parts of Europe. The state-building process and relations between princes and their subject cities or between citizens and their rulers were deeply shaped by fiscal practices. Although medieval taxation has produced many publications over the past decades there remains no synthesis of this important subject. This volume provides a comprehensive overview on a European scale and suggests new paths of inquiry. It examines the fiscal systems and practices of medieval Europe, including essential themes such as medieval fiscal theory and the power to tax; royal and urban taxation; and Church taxation. It goes on to survey the entire European continent, as well as including comparative chapters on the non-European medieval world, exploring questions on how taxation developed and functioned; what kinds of problems authorities encountered assessing their fiscal power; and the circulation of fiscal cultures and practices across cities and kingdoms. The book also provides a glossary of the most important types of medieval taxes, giving an essential definition of key terms cited in the chapters. The Routledge Handbook of Public Taxation in Medieval Europe will appeal to a large audience, from seasoned scholars who need a comprehensive synthesis, to students and younger scholars in search of an overview of this critical subject.
