France in the Middle Ages is immense and diverse. From one region to another, from one canton to another, neither the population density nor the state of production techniques are similar. The only fundamental feature of the rural economy: the universal presence of the large estate. The articles gathered here restore as closely as possible the historian's approach. From Cluny to the Southern Alps, from the Mâconnais to the towns of Provence, Georges Duby reveals the richness of the texts and interprets or deplores the silence of the sources. He traces the life of the lordships, the towns with shared powers, the efforts of the peasant monks and the very diversity of the economy of the Middle Ages. This volume should be complemented by reading The Knightly Society, the first volume of the work: Men and Structures of the Middle Ages.
