Feodalites et droits savants dans le Midi medieval (Hardcover, New Ed)

The feudal system has come to be seen as one of the most characteristic features of the Western Middle Ages, yet the study of feudal law has not always received the same attention as that given to its institutions. This law, it is true, was a subject of secondary importance in the medieval universities, but there does remain a corpus of writing sufficiently large to permit the investigation of how it related to medieval practice. In these articles, now provided with extensive additional notes, Gerard Giordanengo has undertaken such an investigation, with particular reference to Southern France in the 12th-14th centuries.

At the governmental level, finally, he argues that it was not any feudal theory, nor even any feudal structures, but rather the absolutist doctrines of Roman law and the Old Testament that shaped the political ideology - and practice, if possible - of the medieval king.

Au cours de ces articles, des A present pourvus de notes supplementaires, Gerard Giordanengo a entrepris une telle analyse, se referant plus particulierement au Sud de l
