Burgesses and Burgess Law in the Latin Kingdoms of Jerusalem and Cyprus (1099-1325) (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This is the first book devoted to the study of burgesses in the Latin Kingdoms of Jerusalem and Cyprus (1099-1325). It offers a comprehensive assessment of the contributions made by the non-feudal class to the development of legal and commercial institutions in the 12th, 13th and 14th centuries. Dispensing with the commonly held view that burgesses had only marginal influence, evidence is presented to illustrate how the existence of a 'middle class' was essential to the ambitions of the kingdoms' leaders.
