Drawing on the rich judicial records of Marseille from the years 1264 to 1423, especially records of civil litigation, this book approaches the courts of law from the perspective of the users of the courts (the consumers of justice) and explains why men and women chose to invest resources in the law.Daniel Lord Smail shows that the courts were quickly adopted as a public stage on which litigants could take revenge on their enemies. Even as the new legal system served the interest of royal or communal authority, it also provided the consumers of justice with a way to broadcast their hatreds and social sanctions to a wider audience and negotiate their own community standing in the process. The emotions that had driven bloodfeuds and other forms of customary vengeance thus never went away, and instead were fully incorporated into the new procedures. 410 0$aConjunctions of religion & power in the medieval past. 606 $aJustice, Administration of$zFrance$zMarseille$xHistory 607 $aMarseille (France)$xSocial life and customs 615 0$aJustice, Administration of$xHistory. 676 $a340.5/6/0944912 700 $aSmail$b Daniel Lord$01016623 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910816878403321 996 $aThe Consumption of Justice$94037413 997 $aUNINA
