Town and Country in Early-Medieval Bavaria: Two studies in urban and comital structure

Mehr zum Buch

"Using historical, topographical and archaeological evidence, this book explores the earliest history of two fundamental institutions in 9th and 10th century Bavaria: the development of the urban 'borough' and the emergence of castle-based lordship within the comital organization of the countryside, which formed the twin bases for the estate-based feudal constitution of the high Middle Ages."--Publisher's web site.
