So rich is the material that we can see not only the composition of families but the changing configurations of local control. The ninth century was clearly a major period of change in the fortunes of these villages, a time when the political identity of power of the local territorial seigneur first began to make its mark.
By the 870s the vigorously independent free peasants proprietors of the early decades of the century were being replaced by a community of less vociferous tenants, more aware of aristocratic interests - and especially of the control exercised by the monastery, which continued as powerful religious corporation until the French Revolution.

Un bon livre très intéressant pour toute personne s'intéressant à la Bretagne, et un immanquable pour tout médiéviste s'intéressant aux élites rurales !
