Auteur: Georges Duby
ISBN: 9780140551433
Conditie: Redelijk

A study of a social revolution whose consequences are s till potent
Until the early eleventh century medieval nobility ignored the rules of the clergy on the question of marriage — their overriding concern was to preserve their dynasties. In order to do so, incest, abduction and concubinage were common and acceptable. By the thirteenth century, however, the Church’s rules on incest were accepted, abduction had given way to the rituals of courtly love, adultery was forbidden and marriage was seen as a God-given sacrament
Georges Duby, one of Prance’s greatest medieval historians, draws on a wide variety of contemporary sources to uncover and analyse the power struggle between-Church and nobility, and to reveal how the underlying issue was hierarchy — of clergy over laity, rich over poor and man over woman — and how the resulting perception of the social order is still with, us today.
