More about the book

Challenging traditional views of feudalism, the book critiques the established notions of fiefs and vassalage in medieval Europe. Susan Reynolds contends that these concepts were shaped by later scholars rather than reflecting the true nature of medieval society. By examining the works of medieval academic lawyers, she reveals how these constructed ideas misrepresent the complexities of social structures during that era, urging a reevaluation of historical interpretations.
