It offers a strongly representative overview of the changes the Council introduced to centuries-old marriage practices, relegating it to the realm of marginality and deviance and nearly erasing the memory of it altogether. From the eleventh century onward, the Church assured itself of a jurisdictional monopoly over the matter of marriage, operating both in concert and in conflict with secular authorities by virtue of marriage's civil consequences, the first of which regarded the legitimacy of children. Secular tribunals were responsible for patrimonial matters between spouses, though the Church at times inserted itself into these matters either directly, by substituting itself for the secular authority, or indirectly, by influencing Rulings through their own sentences. Lay magistratures, for their part, somewhat eroded the authority of ecclesiastical tribunals by continuing to exercise autonomous jurisdiction over marriage, especially regarding separation and crimes strictly connected to the nuptial bond and its definition, including adultery, bigamy, and rape. 410 0$aEarly Modern History: Society and Culture,$x2947-907X 606 $aEurope$xHistory$x476-1492 606 $aItaly$xHistory 606 $aReligion and sociology 606 $aLaw$xHistory 606 $aSocial history 606 $aHistory of Medieval Europe 606 $aHistory of Italy 606 $aSociology of Religion 606 $aLegal History 606 $aSocial History 615 0$aEurope$xHistory$x476-1492. 615 0$aItaly$xHistory. 615 0$aReligion and sociology. 615 0$aLaw$xHistory. 615 0$aSocial history. 615 14$aHistory of Medieval Europe. 615 24$aHistory of Italy. 615 24$aSociology of Religion. 615 24$aLegal History. 615 24$aSocial History. 676 $a940.902 700 $aCristellon$b Cecilia$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0475035 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910254765703321 996 $aMarriage, the Church, and its Judges in Renaissance Venice, 1420-1545$92203647 997 $aUNINA
