After the Feudal Revolution

Das Mittelalter gilt als Zeit der Ritter und Burgen, als Zeit »feudaler« Gewalt und »feudaler« Herrschaft. Als Ursprungsort einer solchen »Feudalgesellschaft« gilt eine »feudale Revolution« im 11. Jahrhundert. Der vorliegende Band eröffnet eine neue Perspektive auf die Transformationen des 10.-12. Jahrhundert.
