Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book details the complexities of the medieval period through the lens of a small yet influential municipality, Mulhouse, located in the Alsace region of France. The author uses the town's archival records to craft a narrative that explores the economic, social, and political conflicts of the time. The dukes of Austria and the Swiss Confederacy play major roles, their interactions with Mulhouse reflecting the larger conflicts of the period. The book also sheds light on the many and varied grievances of the medieval serf population, who in this case were caught between the demands of the Hapsburg dynasty and the ambitions of the growing merchant class. Conflicts over taxation and trade rights took the form of armed conflict and legal battles, all of which the author presents with a fine-grained level of detail that brings the past vividly to life. The author shows that Mulhouse was far from a passive observer during this time, but rather was an active participant in shaping its own destiny. The town's leaders played a shrewd diplomatic game, securing alliances with powerful neighbors, and ultimately maintaining their independence from both the dukes and the Confederacy. This book is a significant contribution to the study of medieval history, and the insights it provides are sure to be of interest to anyone with an interest in this period, or in the history of the region.
