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.Cambridge studies in medieval life and thought.Political cultureRhine River ValleyHistoryTo 1500Cities and towns, MedievalRhine River ValleyElite (Social sciences)Rhine River ValleyHistoryChurch and stateRhine River ValleyHistoryTo 1500Local governmentRhine River ValleyHistoryTo 1500Monasticism and religious ordersRhine River ValleyHistoryMiddle Ages, 600-1500Rhine River ValleySocial conditionsGermanyHistoryTo 843FranceSocial conditionsTo 987GermanyReligious life and customsMiddle Ages, 843-1517Political cultureHistoryCities and towns, MedievalElite (Social sciences)History.Church and stateHistoryLocal governmentHistoryMonasticism and religious ordersHistory306.2/09434Innes Matthew265917MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910822188603321State and society in the early Middle Ages4057054UNINA
