The Continuity of Feudal Power is an analytic study of a family of
the Neapolitan aristocracy during the early modern period, with
particular focus on the time of Spanish rule (1503-1707). The
Caracciolo marquis of Brienza were a branch of one of the oldest
and most powerful clans in the kingdom of Naples, and they numbered
among the hundred wealthiest feudal families throughout the early
modern period. Professor Astarita reconstructs the family's
patrimony, administration and revenues, the family's relationship
with the rural communities over which it had jurisdiction, its
marriage and alliance policies, and the relations between the
aristocracy and the monarchical government. His emphasis is on the
continuing importance of feudal traditions, institutions and values
both in the definition of the aristocracy's status and in its
success in ensuring the persistence of its wealth and power within
the kingdom.
