"Conflict and Violence in Medieval Italy 568–1154 provides a rich analysis of the multifaceted nature of violence in early medieval Italy, spanning cases of social, political, religious, and even postmortem violence. The volume successfully demonstrates how violence influenced significant political, social, and economic changes in this period, offering both specialist and nonspecialist readers new insights into medieval Italian society."

Conflict and Violence in Medieval Italy 568-1154
De onderstaande tekst is niet beschikbaar in het Nederlands en wordt in het Engels weergegeven.
This collection of essays from both established and emerging scholars analyses the dynamic connections between conflict and violence in medieval Italy. The contributors present a new critique of power that sustained both kingship and locally based elite networks throughout the Italian peninsula. A broad temporal range, covering the sixth to the twelfth centuries, allows this book to cross a number of 'traditional' fault-lines in Italian historiography – 774, 888, 962 and 1025. The essays provide wide-ranging analyses of the role of conflict in the period, the operation of power and the development of communal consciousness and collective action by individuals and groups. It is thus essential reading for scholars, students and general readers who wish to understand the situation in medieval Italy.
