This is the first book in English to study the history of the Estates General of Burgundy during the classic period of absolute monarchy. Although not a representative institution in any modern sense, the Estates were constantly engaged in a process of bargaining with the French crown, and this book examines that relationship under the Ancien Régime. Julian Swann analyses the organization, membership and powers of the Estates and explores their administration, their struggles for power with rival institutions and their relationship with the crown and with the Burgundian people. The Estates proved remarkably resilient when confronted by the challenges posed by the Bourbon monarchy, and by the reign of Louis XVI they were seemingly more powerful than ever. However the desire to protect their privileges and to extend their authority had not been accompanied by an attempt to forge a meaningful relationship with the people they claimed to serve.

This is a definitive study of Charles the Bold's diplomatic and military relations with the Italian states, taking full account of economic policy. The book makes extensive use not only of the great mass of diplomatic correspondence in the archives of Florence, Mantua, Milan, Modena and Venice, but also of Charles' financial records in the archives of Brussels and Lille. The author's mastery of these primary sources is complemented by judicious use of a wide range of secondary material. Aspects of Charles the Bold's relations with Italy have been considered in earlier literature, but no study has before dealt with them comprehensively at any length. This book fills that gap and places Charles' reign in its wider European context.

À Besançon, le nom de Chifflet évoque celui d’une rue et aussi, pour les habitants les mieux renseignés, celui d’un ancien hôtel particulier. L’héritage de cette extraordinaire dynastie de savants franc-comtois ne saurait pourtant se limiter à cette éponymie. Leurs compétences s’étendaient au droit, à la médecine et à l’histoire. Leur esprit de curiosité est à l’origine de la constitution de plusieurs disciplines académiques, telles l’archéologie ou la numismatique. Localement, les Chifflet ont donc joué au sein du milieu humaniste un rôle de premier plan. Cependant, ces érudits rayonnent bien au-delà de l’échelon local. La dynastie Chifflet était en contact avec tout ce que l’Europe comportait de savants et de lettrés. Les savants bisontins ont ainsi formé un véritable réseau intellectuel. Sous l’égide de la Maison des Sciences de l’Homme de Franche-Comté, ont eu lieu entre mars 2003 et juin 200S quatre journées d’étude consacrées au réseau Chifflet ». Ce volume réunit la majeure partie des communications présentées lors de ces journées.

Quels rituels scandent la vie familiale et villageoise à Minot-en-Châtillonnais ? Avec qui se marie-t-on ? Comment se transmettent les biens ? Comment utilise-t-on l'espace communal selon que l'on est bûcheron, agriculteur ou artisan ? Tels sont quelques-uns des thèmes abordés dans les articles rassemblés ici, étapes d'un véritable « chantier » ethnographique de près de dix années. L'application à un terrain français des méthodes de l'ethnologie classique, la minutie et la qualité de l'observation, font de « Minot » une entreprise qui désormais fait référence. Dans ce village, semblable à bien d'autres, voisin en quelque sorte, les auteurs ont réussi à restituer la figure vivante d'une petite société rurale et son ordre profond.
