Dame Janet L. Nelson (28 March 1942 – 14 October 2024)

Jinty Nelson in Thirteen Articles
This collection gathers thirteen contributions by a number of historians, friends, colleagues and/or students of Jinty’s, who were asked to pick their favourite article by her and say a few words about it for an event held in her memory on 15 January 2025 at King’s College London. We offer this collection in print now for a wider audience not so much because it has any claim to be exhaustive or authoritative, but because taken all together these …
Lordship in the Later Middle Ages
Over the last few years, a number of articles have featured in Past and Present on the subject of late medieval lordship. Three were accepted within a four-month period between July and October 2023 (Christian D. Liddy, ‘The Making of Towns, the Making of Polities’; Tristan W. Sharp, ‘Seigneurial Predation in the Late Medieval Feud’; Frederik Buylaert, Thijs Lambrecht, Klaas Van Gelder, and Kaat Cappelle, ‘The Political Economy of Seigneurial Lor…
Corporal Punishment at Work in the Early Middle Ages
This article deals with a paradox. Evidence for the punishment of workers during the early Middle Ages is richer in the earlier period (sixth and seventh centuries), when rural workers are generally thought to have been the least oppressed; by contrast, direct discussion of the subject largely drops out of the record in the Carolingian era (eighth to tenth centuries), despite clear evidence for renewed intensification of economic exploitation by …
Slave Raiding and Slave Trading
This chapter deals with the slave trade, its sources and its destinations, during the early middle ages. After a period of apparently low demand, the slave trade reached a new and sudden peak in the ninth and especially the tenth century, with the emergence of a massive demand for slaves in the Muslim world. This trade shows a remarkably low level of articulation with the internal organization of labour, production, or consumption, and seems to h…
Household Slavery and Service
This chapter deals with household and domestic slavery in the early middle ages. Household production was the baseline, lowest-common-denominator form of production in all regions of Europe at this time. The chapter begins by comparing two extremes, Byzantium and Ireland, to show what a wide range of social configurations and practical and symbolic needs it could correspond to. Although it is customary in the literature to think of household slav…
Exploring a Model for the Semantics of Medieval Legal Charters
This paper describes several aspects of a formal digital semantic model that expresses some issues presented by medieval charters. Surprisingly, perhaps, this model does not deal directly with a charter's text and is not mark-up based. Instead, it draws on the authors’ experience with the construction of three highly structured factoid-oriented prosopographical databases that drew heavily on charter sources, and that also did not explicitly conta…
Slavery After Rome, 500-1100
Slavery After Rome, 500-1100 offers a substantially new interpretation of what happened to slavery in Western Europe in the centuries that followed the fall of the Roman Empire. The periods at either end of the early middle ages are associated with iconic forms of unfreedom: Roman slavery at one end; at the other, the serfdom of the twelfth century and beyond, together with, in Southern Europe, a revitalised urban chattel slavery dealing chiefly …
Women and Laws in Early Medieval Europe
This article examines the main ways in which early medieval lawmakers concerned themselves with women. Law codes put forward ideologically loaded representations of women, and they reflected concerns to ensure both their protection and their control by men. At the same time, they also dealt with highly practical issues and were subject to continual amendment as new and ever more complicated cases were brought before lawmakers. They reveal a confl…
Gregory of Tours
Georgius Florentius Gregorius (November 30, 538–November 17, 594 CE ), bishop of Tours, was a prolific writer.
Merovingians
The Merovingians were a Frankish royal dynasty, named after their ancestor figure Merovech.
Self-sale and Voluntary Entry into Unfreedom, 300-1100
Voluntary entry into unfreedom in late antiquity and the early middle ages has tended to be interpreted as anything but voluntary: instead, self-sales and autodeditions have been seen mostly in terms of coercion, whether by force or by necessity, and associated with particular moments of social crisis. This article argues that the sensitive nature of the topic resulted in an exceptionally misleading representation of self-sales in the legal and l…

Legal Practice and the Written Word in the Early Middle Ages
Legal formularies are books of model legal documents compiled by early medieval scribes for their own use and that of their pupils. A major source for the history of early medieval Europe, they document social relations beyond the narrow world of the political elite. Formularies offer much information regarding the lives of ordinary people: sales and gifts of land, divorces, adoptions, and disputes over labour as well as theft, rape or murder. Un…
Legal Practice and the Written Word in the Early Middle Ages
High and Low
Our understanding of ties of loyalty and dependence formed at the level of the Carolingian political elite has been much improved by a great deal of excellent recent research. As mutually beneficial relationships freely entered into, they tend to be sharply distinguished from ties of dependence involving members from the lower echelons of society: the latter ties, on the contrary, are usually seen as the result of coercion, and they were long see…
