This book is a detailed historical work which surveys the people, places and events that have shaped the region of North East Tyrol from prehistory to modern times.

Central themes are established by the author exploring the idea of Heimat, society and tradition amongst the people who have inhabited this space over the centuries, as well as the many political and secular entities which have ruled over it. The book achieves its aims by the examination of a vast bank of primary sources, many of which have not been analyzed in detail before, and by engaging with sophisticated methodologies and theories to make sense of the evidence available to him.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book analyzes feudal law and its practical application in the medieval lands of Tyrol, now part of Italy and Austria, from the fall of the Western Roman Empire until approximately 1800. The author examines the interplay between ecclesiastical and temporal authorities as they negotiated changes over time, and also analyzes the evolution of the legal rights and statuses of rural and urban communities in the region. The author argues that in this area, feudal structures were relatively decentralized, and that customs and tradition often had more influence over local legal codes than did formal legislation. This book is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in legal history or in the history of the Tyrol region. Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
