Looking beyond the notion of a 'Feudal Revolution', this book reveals that a radical shift in the patterns of social organisation did occur in this period, but as a continuation of processes unleashed by Carolingian reform, rather than Carolingian political failure. Focusing on the Frankish lands between the rivers Marne and Moselle, Charles West explores the full range of available evidence, including letters, chronicles, estate documents, archaeological excavations and liturgical treatises, to track documentary and social change. He shows how Carolingian reforms worked to formalise interaction across the entire social spectrum, and that the new political and social formations apparent from the later eleventh century should be seen as long-term consequence of this process. 410 0$aCambridge studies in medieval life and thought ;$v4th ser., 90. 606 $aSocial change$zEurope$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aPolitical culture$zEurope$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aFeudalism$zEurope$xHistory$yTo 1500 607 $aCarolingians$zFrance$zMarne River Valley$xHistory 607 $aCarolingians$zMoselle River Valley$xHistory 607 $aMarne River Valley (France)$xPolitics and government 607 $aMoselle River Valley$xPolitics and government 607 $aMarne River Valley (France)$xSocial conditions 607 $aMoselle River Valley$xSocial conditions 607 $aEurope$xHistory$y476-1492 615 0$aSocial change$xHistory 615 0$aPolitical culture$xHistory 615 0$aFeudalism$xHistory 676 $a944/.3014 700 $aWest$b Charles$f1979-$0850544 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910452755503321 996 $aReframing the feudal revolution$91899087 997 $aUNINA
