Summary

This series comprises regional studies in the rural history of the European continent during the Middle Ages (concentrating on the period 1000-1500). Integrating written records, archaeology, and research on the history of the landscape and environment, the books profile work on particular regions in detail. Implicitly and explicitly the series seeks to generate a comparative vocabulary and understanding of phenomena that heretofore have been studied in their local settings. These studies offer broader implications for the history of the seigneurial regime of the Middle Ages and concern such topics as the history of servitude, the settlement of the land, the functioning of the economy, food, and agricultural practices.
