What People are Saying About This

Constance Brittain Bouchard

A fascinating and very original book, based on an enormous amount of primary research. Freed is a leading authority on the ministerials of the Holy Roman Empire, who kept their servile status even while becoming the de facto aristocracy of their regions.
