Fully illustrated with photographs and maps, this guide to the WWI battlefield of Verdun offers a deeper understanding of its history and its monuments.A visit to the battlefield of Verdun is usually dominated by the forts of Douaumont and Vaux, the museum at Fleury and the striking Ossuary. Although this gives a flavor of the horrific fighting that took place in the area during the Great War, the visitor who explores no further will have only skimmed the surface of this deeply fascinating site. This book seeks to guide the battlefield pilgrim on a series of walks that combine major sites with parts that are rarely visited.These four walking tours have been thoroughly researched and feature many physical remnants of combat, such as gun positions, bunkers and trench systems, the significance of which are fully explained. They are carefully curated to give visitors a greater understanding of why the fighting developed as it did and why such places as Fort Vaux were so significant to both sides. Though they vary in length, most take a half day to complete, while the longest--and last--takes a full day.

Wie werden aus Bürgern einer Reichsstadt, Untertanen eines geistlichen Fürsten und Vasallen des Kaisers Untertanen des französischen Königs, "sujets du roi"? Dieser Frage wird anhand der Ereignisse in Metz, Toul und Verdun nach der französischen Besetzung im Jahr 1552 nachgegangen. Wie hat sich der Herrschaftswechsel konkret vollzogen? Wodurch wurde das "Französisch-Werden" unterstützt oder behindert? Die Untersuchung betrifft zentrale Themen der Frühneuzeitforschung wie die Kommunikation zwischen Herrscher, Amtsträgern und Untertanen, Fragen der Souveränität und Rechtmäßigkeit, Aspekte der Verrechtlichung und Gerichtsnutzung, aber auch die Frage nach dem Ende der großen lothringischen Hexenverfolgungen.
