Until recently, historians tended to assume that in the late medieval period local lordship was effectively crushed between strong cities and states. Developing recent debates to the contrary, Lordship, Capitalism, and the State in Flanders draws on qualitative and quantitative evidence from the county of Flanders to reconsider the ways in which lordship continued to be a cornerstone of life in rural Europe across this period. Flanders is an extreme example of a scenario in which seigneuries were not so much vehicles for the elite interests of lords, but dynamic instruments for village communities; and lordship here was as important, if not moreso, at the start of the Dutch Revolt in 1567 than it was around the mid-thirteenth century, where this study begins. As a forerunner in the commercialization and urbanization of society, Flanders saw the rise of mighty towns who provided the inhabitants of their hinterlands with a shield against seigneurial oppression, up to the point that the seigneurial administration could only continue to function if it was closely aligned with the interests of peasants. Next to this, the Low Countries, including Flanders, became part of the mighty Burgundian-Habsburg polity. Rather than undermining seigneurial lordship, however, the princely administration increasingly relied on the peasant aldermen of seigneuries to provide justice and governance to villages. The self-rule of Flemish peasantries through lordship meant that the seigneurie was the forum in which contemporaries made a critical decision, that being how to respond to the new and all-encompassing phenomenon of agrarian capitalism, a mode of agricultural production that first emerged in the Low Countries and Flanders before spreading to the rest of the globe. The persistence and transformation of seigneurial lordship into what might be called 'middle-class lordship' thus had great consequences for Flemish society across the late medieval period and beyond-and this story helps scholars to understand more generally how power relations between lords and peasants differed from one region to the next, in dialogue with different trajectories in urbanization, economic change, and state formation

Lordship and the Decentralized State in Late Medieval Europe rethinks the rise of modern European states as a process of decentralization. The idea that states made lordships obsolete is challenged by showing how the distribution of authority among local lords reinforced the development of new political systems.

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 revitalized urban chattel slavery dealing chiefly in non-Christians. How and why this major change took place in the intervening period has been a long-standing puzzle. This study picks up the various threads linking this transformation across the centuries, and situates them within the full context of what slavery and unfreedom were being used for in the early middle ages. This volume adopts a broad comparative perspective, covering different regions of Western Europe over six centuries, to try to answer the following questions: who might become enslaved and why? What did this mean for them, and for their lords? What made people opt for certain ways of exploiting unfree labor over others in different times and places, and is it possible, underneath all this diversity, to identify some coherent trajectories of historical change?

Between the end of the Middle Ages and the Industrial Revolution, the long-established structures and practices of European agriculture and industry were slowly, disparately, but profoundly transformed. Transitions to Capitalism in Early Modern Europe, first published in 1997, narrates and analyzes the diverse patterns of economic change that permanently modified rural and urban production, altered Europe's economy and geography, and gave birth to new social classes. Broad in chronological and geographical scope and explicitly comparative, the book introduces readers to a wealth of information drawn from thoughout Mediterranean, east-central, and western Europe, as well as to the classic interpretations and current debates and revisions. The study incorporates scholarship on topics such as the world economy and women's work, and it discusses at length the impact of the emergent capitalist order on Europe's working people.

Bruges was undoubtedly one of the most important cities in medieval Europe. Bringing together specialists from both archaeology and history, this 'total' history presents an integrated view of the city's history from its very beginnings, tracing its astonishing expansion through to its subsequent decline in the sixteenth century. The authors' analysis of its commercial growth, industrial production, socio-political changes, and cultural creativity is grounded in an understanding of the city's structure, its landscape and its built environment. More than just a biography of a city, this book places Bruges within a wider network of urban and rural development and its history in a comparative framework, thereby offering new insights into the nature of a metropolis.

This work is a history of the Pacific, the ocean that became a theatre of power and conflict shaped by the politics of Europe and the economic background of Spanish America. There could only be a concept of &�the Pacific once the limits and lineaments of the ocean were set and this was undeniably the work of Europeans. Fifty years after the Conquista, Nueva Espaą and Peru were the bases from which the ocean was turned into virtually a Spanish lake.
