In asperis carceribus et in fame dolore et magna miseria : de quelques violences seigneuriales pendant la « guerre du vicomte » à Narbonne et dans ses environs (1381-1382) by Vincent Challet

Beyond the obvious continuity of a certain number of gestures and destructions, of which we can already identify the beginnings during feudal times and which are all markers of seignorial domination, the originality of the Narbonne documentation resides in the specific description of a number of devastations operated by the viscount troops and in the recognition of the victims. …”
