This book offers a fundamental reconception of the place of welfare institutions in the medieval church, and so of the significance of welfare in western Christianity. It takes as its subject the treatment of hospitals, xenodochia, alms-houses, and leprosaria in church law from the late antique period to the fourteenth century, when the council of Vienne issued its so-called 'magna carta of hospitals'. The place of hospitals 'between church and world' has long caused confusion, not least because popes, canonists, and bishops seem not to have cared about their wayward state. This book charts the legal development of a distinctively western form of welfare. It goes beyond the councils, collections, and commentaries that made up canon law, into Carolingian capitularies, Justinian's Code and Novels, and late Roman testamentary law. In so doing, it identifies new legislation and legal initiatives in every period, the contradictory products of law-makers who were working without legal precedent. Here, at the fringes of law, pioneers worked, and forgers played. Their efforts shed light on councils, both familiar and forgotten, and on major figures, including Abbot Ansegis of Saint Wandrille, Abbot Wala of Corbie, the Pseudo-Isidorian forgers, Pope Alexander III, Bernard of Pavia, and Robert de Courson. A new and fundamentally European history of the hospital emerges, which reveals the central place, across a thousand years, of caritas in medieval Christianity. It also charts the rise of a Christian institution that belonged not to the Church and canon law but to any of the faithful.--

Slavery After Rome, 500-1100' offers a substantially new interpretation of what happened to slavery in Western Europe in the centuries that followed the fall of the Roman Empire. The periods at either end of the early middle ages are associated with iconic forms of unfreedom: Roman slavery at one end; at the other, the serfdom of the twelfth century and beyond, together with, in Southern Europe, a revitalised urban chattel slavery dealing chiefly in non-Christians. How and why this major change took place in the intervening period has been a long-standing puzzle. This study picks up the various threads linking this transformation across the centuries, and situates them within the full context of what slavery and unfreedom were being used for in the early middle ages. This volume adopts a broad comparative perspective, covering different regions of Western Europe over six centuries, to try to answer the following questions: who might become enslaved and why? What did this mean for them, and for their lords? 0What made people opt for certain ways of exploiting unfree labour over others in different times and places, and is it possible, underneath all this diversity, to identify some coherent trajectories of historical change?
