This work explores the evolution of judicial institutions in Southern Burgundy during the 10th and 11th centuries, alongside an examination of the abbey of Cluny's budget from 1080 to 1155, highlighting both domain and monetary economies. It addresses the geography versus chronology of serfdom in Forez and Maçonnais, and provides an inventory of profits from the Cluniac lordship at the death of Peter the Venerable. The text delves into medieval mentalities surrounding feudalism, the development of cities in Southeast Gaul from the 8th to the 11th centuries, and the grand domain's status at the end of the Middle Ages in France. It also investigates the nobility in medieval France, the relationship between lordship and peasant economy in the Southern Alps in 1338, and the economic life of regular canons in the 11th and 12th centuries. The role of youth in the aristocratic society of Northwestern France in the 12th century, lay participation in the Peace of God, agricultural techniques, and recent studies on rural life in 14th-century Provence are discussed. Additionally, it examines kinship structures and nobility in Northern France, genealogical literature, the dissemination of cultural models in feudal society, demographic changes, the origins of chivalry, and the condition of nobility in early 13th-century France, culminating in a comprehensive approach to medieval societies and monasticism's impact on rural economies.
