Violence and the State in Languedoc, 1250–1400 - Cambridge Studies in Medieval Life and Thought: Fourth Series
Firnhaber-Baker, Justine (University of St Andrews, Scotland)
This book provides a narrative of the rise of the French state, showing that the crown's centralising judicial administration co-existed with large-scale aristocratic violence. Royal power grew as much through efforts to negotiate and settle these conflicts as it did through efforts to suppress them.
