It focuses on the period from 1000 to 1300, when free peasants who had held property under favourable frontier conditions were progressively subjugated by their lords. Between 1462 and 1486 Catalan peasants mounted the most successful peasants' war of the Middle Ages, and achieved the formal abolition of servitude. Professor Freedman seeks to explain both the process by which servitude was strengthened over the centuries, and its eventual weakening before a direct moral and military challenge. He addresses both the causes of enserfment and the limitations on its effectiveness. The book integrates archival evidence with the theories of society elaborated by medieval jurists. Comparisons are drawn between Catalonia and other regions, and its experience is situated within a spectrum of different social and economic conditions. 410 0$aCambridge Iberian and Latin American studies. 606 $aSerfdom$zSpain$zCatalonia$xHistory 606 $aPeasants$zSpain$zCatalonia$xHistory 606 $aPeasant uprisings$zSpain$zCatalonia$xHistory 607 $aCatalonia (Spain)$xRural conditions 607 $aCatalonia (Spain)$xHistory 615 0$aSerfdom$xHistory. 615 0$aPeasants$xHistory. 615 0$aPeasant uprisings$xHistory. 676 $a305.5/63/09467 700 $aFreedman$b Paul H.$f1949-$0896980 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996247918803316 996 $aThe origins of peasant servitude in medieval Catalonia$92392267 997 $aUNISA 999 $aThis Record contains information from the Harvard Library Bibliographic Dataset, which is provided by the Harvard Library under its Bibliographic Dataset Use Terms and includes data made available by, among others the Library of Congress
