Politics and Institutions in Capetian France - Variorum Collected Studies
Elizabeth A.R.Brown
The nine essays in this volume by Elizabeth Brown deal with the development of representative institutions and monarchial power in Capetian France. One topic covered is that of the evolution of central assemblies, with case studies of the assemblies held between 1316 and 1321 illuminating the impact of theory on practice. A second topic is that of the moral implications of fiscality and of the attempts by French monarchs to regulate their policies by the teachings of moral philosophy. A particular theme is the Capetians? insistence on reform as a central theme of good government, and their successes and failures living up to their principles. The articles also examine the realm?s reactions to the monarchy?s ideals and principles, emphasizing and attempting to account for the differences in attitude to government on the part of the ruler and ruled that distinguished medieval France and England.
