Wives and widows in medieval Flanders
Widowhood has long been regarded as the most emancipated condition that women might enjoy, affording them a freedom, agency and access to the public sphere denied their single or married counterparts. A corollary of this assumption is that most women documented as active participants in public life should be identified as widows. Based on a large corpus of references to female activity in bailiffs’ accounts and in town records and ordinances, how…
Peter Arnade and Walter Prevenier. Honor, Vengeance, and Social Trouble
Drawing from the rich repository of pardon letters found in the archives in Lille, France, Peter Arnade and Walter Prevenier construct a multitextured analysis of the worlds in which men of all stations in the Burgundian Netherlands—nobles, merchants, artisans, and even musicians and actors—constructed narratives to convince the duke of the value of their claims to his grace and pardon. Most successful petitioners were male, and the letters revea…
Death and taxes
In the early 1370s, when serfdom had all but disappeared in Flanders, Count Louis II resumed the collection of mortmain, a death fee usually paid only by those of servile status. In a region with a sophisticated financial system it is striking that rather than accepting payment in cash the Count's bailiffs secured personal items. In this paper it is argued that the Count was thereby taking advantage of a population dazed by the ravages of plague …

The construction of women's social identity in medieval Douai
In documents throughout medieval Europe, references to persons were frequently augmented by concise phrases that provided identifying information beyond personal names. Most of these appositive references described the subject with reference to familial association; `daughter of', `wife of', and `son of' were among the most frequent. Such phrases were more commonly appended to women's names than to men's. In some regions, familial associations we…
Testaments of two cities
A comparison of testamentary practice in medieval Genoa with that in Douai, France, reveals how differing social orientations resulted in profoundly contrasting social practices. Genoese society was chiefly privately orientated, and patrimony in Genoa was correspondingly transmitted along a vertical dimension. The public nature of the process in Douai, meanwhile, was correlated with a wide distribution of legacies on a horizontal axis. Women in D…
