Whereas a sharp distinction between the public and the private might be appropriate to descriptions of contemporary society, such a dichotomy could not be projected back onto the Middle Ages. Focusing particularly on forms of lordship in late medieval Austria, Brunner found neither a \"state\" in the modern sense nor any distinction between the public and private spheres.Behind the apparent disorder of late medieval political life, however, Brunner discovered a coherent legal and constitutional order rooted in the the rights and obligations of noble lordship. In carefully reconstructing this order, Brunner's study weaves together social, legal, constitutional, and intellectual history.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51974514770208,"sku":"NEW0812281837","price":93.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/land-and-lordship-structures-of-governance-in-medieval-austria-the-middle-ages-series-0812281837","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
