Around the year 1000, a slow reconstruction of a justice system took place in the West, granting all authority to local notables for the settlement of conflicts, most of which did not go beyond the horizons of the villages. So many accommodations that were anchored in the customs and habits of the inhabitants. In France, the situation evolved rapidly due to the growing influence of the monarchy and its justice officials. How can we forget the image, so often reproduced in history textbooks, of a Louis IX, the future Saint Louis, exercising his function as justice king under the great shady oak of his castle of Vincennes? This work, resulting from the most recent research, shows that the reality was different and that, until the Revolution of 1789, many lords continued to exercise their judicial power. Some for the worse, others for the relative tranquility of their tenants, even if we have kept in mind the disproportionate and sinister silhouette of the gallows at the edge of the woods or at the top of the hills. Finally, faithful to the long duration which presides over our Meetings of archaeology and history in Périgord, this work presents later upheavals of the judicial system, contemporary with the 19th and 20th centuries
