Abstract

Genève demeure jusqu'aux années troublées qui précédent l'adoption de la Réforme une ville aux équilibres politiques complexes, où plusieurs pouvoirs se côtoient et administrent le territoire urbain : l'évêque et son chapitre, la Communauté d'habitants et les remuants princes de la Maison de Savoie. Mettant à profit des nombreuses sources manuscrites conservées dans les Archives de Genève et Turin, cette étude analyse dans les détails les politiques d'administration de la Communauté ainsi que ses relations aux autres institutions. La gestion de la ville se révèle comme un atout important dans la légitimation de l'élite dirigeante et dans le renforcement du pouvoir de la Communauté. L'action des notables urbains et les idéaux qui fondent leurs actions permettent ainsi de saisir dans le vif le jeu politique dans une ville à la fin du Moyen Âge.

Abstract

Factional Struggles' explores the dynamics of conflicts among ruling elites within cities, dynastic courts, rural areas and regional noble lineages during the early modern period. Building on case studies from France, Italy, the Empire and the Swiss Confederation, the essays collected by Mathieu Caesar in this volume highlight how factions were formed and how they shaped political society from the late Middle Ages. The authors have especially focused on how political and religious ideologies contributed to the formation of partisanship, the role of propaganda, and the significance and strategies of factional leaders. The volume shows how factions, despite the generally negative view of them held by theologians and jurists, were in practice accepted and used as political tools.

Abstract

"Beginning in the 12th century, taxation increasingly became an essential component of medieval society in most part of Europe. The state building process, relations between princes and their subject cities or between citizens and their rulers, were deeply shaped by fiscal practices. Although medieval taxation has produced many publications over the past decades there remains no synthesis of this important subject. This volume provides a comprehensive overview on a European scale and suggests new paths of inquiry. It examines the fiscal systems and practices of medieval Europe, including essential themes such as medieval fiscal theory and the power to tax; royal, seigneurial and urban taxation; and Church taxation. It goes on to survey the entire European continent, as well as including comparative chapters on the non-European medieval world, exploring questions on how taxation developed and functioned; what kinds of problems authorities encountered assessing their fiscal power; and the circulation of fiscal cultures and practices across cities and kingdoms. The book also provides a glossary of the most important types of medieval taxes, giving an essential definition of key terms cited in the chapters. The Routledge Handbook of Taxation in Medieval Europe will appeal to a large audience, from seasoned scholars who need a comprehensive synthesis, to students and younger scholars in search of an overview of this critical subject"--
