Property and Power in the Early Middle Ages

This is a collection of original essays on the relationship between property and power, a fundamental theme in medieval history, by largely the same team which produced The Settlement of Disputes in Early Medieval Europe (1986). It addresses four main issues: the meaning of power over property; the ways in which proprty conveyed power; the nature of immunities; and the power of royal authority to affect property relations. The areas studied include Wales, England, France, Germany, Italy, and Byzantium, and the essays range across the period 650-1150.Davies, Wendy is the author of 'Property and Power in the Early Middle Ages' with ISBN 9780521434195 and ISBN 052143419X.
