Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the history of the seigneury and town of Mirepoix, in southwestern France, during a tumultuous period of conquest, feudalism, and the rise of royal authority. The author, a respected historian, draws upon a rich collection of primary sources, including charters, ordinances, and legal documents, to illuminate the complex relationship between the local lord and his subjects. At the heart of the book is an analysis of the 13th-century charter of customs granted by the lord to the inhabitants of Mirepoix, which reveals a fascinating interplay of rights and obligations. The author also examines the struggles between the lord and the royal seneschal for control over justice and administration, offering insights into the gradual erosion of feudal power in the face of a centralizing monarchy. Ultimately, this book provides a nuanced account of the transformation of a region from a contested frontier to a relatively stable and prosperous part of the French kingdom.
