Abstract

This session will explore the extent to which the political situation affected lord-peasant relations. Each paper will focus on a different region across the Mediterranean; comparing modes of production, market networks, land-exploitation systems and the condition of the peasantry during periods of significant change in the respective political structures of those regions. Together, the three papers aim to offer a wide-ranging discussion on the problematics of approaching the impact of political change on social and economic conditions.
