Negotiating Violence examines the ways in which ordinary people
used a transnational papal court of law for disputing their private
local hostilities and for negotiating their social status and
identities. Following the career and routine crossovers of runaway
friars, the book offers vivid insights into the late medieval
culture of violence, honour, emotions, learning and lay-clerical
interactions. The story plays itself out in the large composite
state of the Kingdom of Hungary and Croatia, which collapses under
the Ottomans' sword in front of the readers' eyes. The bottom-up
approach of the Christian-Muslim military conflict renders visible
the rationalities of those commoners who voluntarily crossed the
religious boundary, while the multi-tiered story convincingly
drives home the argument that the motor of social and religious
change was lay society rather than the clergy in this turbulent
age.
