Synopsis
This book, available in both English and French, is the first in-depth study of the importance of the poor and their role in shaping the medieval town of Rouen. Drawing on a wealth of archival sources, the author creates an insightful look at charity in the Middle Ages and its significance to the social fabric of the time. Through an examination of the administration of charity to the poor, sick, and orphans, the book offers a unique perspective on medieval urban society. In the process, the author sheds light on the changing concepts of sin, poverty, and social responsibility, and explores the evolution of the practice of charity from a solely religious duty to a secular obligation. Ultimately, this book demonstrates that while medieval Rouen was indeed a place of extreme poverty, it was also a place where wealth and compassion coexisted, and where addressing the plight of the poor was a central concern for both religious and secular authorities.
