商品簡介
The long 11th century, extending from the mid-10th to the early-12th, are the temporal scope of the nine papers, reproduced from publication between 1978 and 2003. White mainly describes how nobles, including monks, carried on disputes that can often be understood as feuds ( guerrae ), and how these disputants brought or tried to bring disputes to at least a temporary halt. Most accounts deal with both sides of the coin. Among the topics are feuding and peace-making in the Touraine around the year 1100, the feudal revolution comment, the settlement of disputes by compromise in western France, inheritances and legal arguments in western France 1050-1150, and 10th-century courts at Macon and the perils of structuralist history.
