About this title

Synopsis

Entre l'an mille et le d�but du XIIe si�cle se place un moment tr�s important de l'histoire du mariage europ�en : la lutte des dirigeants de l'Eglise pour imposer leurs conceptions de l'institution matrimoniale. En m�me temps qu'ils forcent, non sans peine, les pr�tres � vivre dans le c�libat, ils r�vent d'enfermer le peuple la�que dans la cellule conjugale, cadre consacr�, contr�l� par le clerg�. L'ordre qu'ils veulent instaurer ne se subsiste pas au d�sordre mais � un ordre diff�rent, contrarie d'autres obligations morales et de vieilles habitudes. Les hommes n'acceptent pas facilement de ne plus pouvoir � leur gr� renvoyer leur femme lorsqu'elle ne leur donne pas de fils, ou tout simplement parce qu'un meilleur parti se pr�sente ; ils n'acceptent pas non plus de ne pas pouvoir �pouser leur cousine.Le conflit fut long, spectaculaire : un roi de France, Philippe Ier, fut excommuni� trois fois de suite pour ce que les pr�tres appelaient adult�re, bigamie, inceste. Toutefois, tandis que le mariage venait prendre place parmi les sept sacrements de l'Eglise, des accomodements permettaient aux deux morales de s'ajuster. En compensation, se d�veloppait dans la soci�t� mondaine l'amour que l'on dit courtois ; mais les r�gles et les rites du mariage chr�tien s'installaient. Ce syst�me a dur� jusqu'� nous, jusqu'� cette nouvelle crise de l'institution matrimoniale dont les p�rip�ties se d�roulent sous nos yeux.
