This book, first published in 2000, is a pioneering study of
politics and society in the early Middle Ages. Whereas it is widely
believed that the source materials for early medieval Europe are
too sparse to allow sustained study of the workings of social and
political relationships on the ground, this book focuses on a
uniquely well-documented area to investigate the basis of power.
Topics covered include the foundation of monasteries, their
relationship with the laity, and their role as social centres; the
significance of urbanism; the control of land, the development of
property rights and the organization of states; community, kinship
and lordship; justice and dispute settlement; the uses of the
written word; violence and the feud; and the development of
political structures from the Roman empire to the high Middle Ages.
