Beskrivelse
This book explores the vital role of feuds in shaping pre-modern societies, challenging the idea that they were simply chaotic or lawless. It highlights how, without a state monopoly on violence, feuds served as a way to enforce rules and resolve conflicts.
An insightful look into how feuds influenced medieval and early modern European society.
Feud in Medieval and Early Modern Europe brings together leading scholars to present key findings from recent research on feuds. The book covers a wide historical range, from the classic Icelandic feuds depicted in the Sagas to incidents in the early modern era.
While one chapter even traces feud-like behavior back to humanity’s earliest roots, the main focus lies on the medieval and early modern periods. Examples include feuds in 14th-century Marseille, Italian medieval vendettas, and disputes in medieval Germany and Denmark.
A thorough introduction sets the stage for the detailed studies that follow, providing a clear framework for understanding the complex social functions of feuds during these times.
