This volume explores the material and symbolic importance that buildings played in the context of conflicts that emerged as social and political affiliations and identities, especially local, were defined with new force.
The four-volume sub-series ‘Petrifying Wealth’ explores the sudden ubiquity of masonry construction between 1050 and 1300 in Southern Europe and its profound effect on the European landscape. New questions about wealth, society, and medieval building are explored, which highlight the link between construction in durable materials and the shaping of individual, collective, and territorial identities: the birth of a new, long-lasting panorama, epitomising the way we see the space and territory of Europe today. In the central Middle Ages, when the roots of power and social identities were defined with new force and, first and foremost, at the local level, conflict became one of the most important factors that drove the building of durable constructions. Buildings and conflicts were linked more closely than before. This third volume in the ‘Petrifying Wealth’ series explores the material and symbolic importance that buildings played in the context of clashes of various kinds: between bishops and city communities; between people marked by different religious affiliations; between lords; between lords and subjects; between different visions of the ecclesiastical hierarchy; between sovereigns, city communities, and the nobility; and between families and members of the same kinship.
