Records and Processes of Dispute Settlement in Early Medieval Societies
Records and Processes of Dispute Settlement in Early Medieval Societies
How can dispute records shed light on the study of dispute settlement processes and their social and political underpinnings? This volume addresses this question by investigating the interplay between record-making, disputing process, and the social and political contexts of conflicts.
The authors make use of exceptionally rich charter materials from the Iberian Peninsula, Italy, and Scandinavia, including different types of texts directly and indirectly related to conflicts, in order to contribute to a comparative survey of early medieval dispute records and to a better understanding of the interplay between judicial and other less formal modes of conflict resolution.
Contributors are Isabel Alfonso, Jose M. Andrade, Francois Bougard, Warren C. Brown, Wendy Davies, Julio Escalona, Kim Esmark, Adam J. Kosto, Juan Jose Larrea, Andre Evangelista Marques, Josep M. Salrach, Igor Santos Salazar, and Francesca Tinti.
