Abstract
In order to comprehend the seigniory of medieval southern Italy as a whole, it is necessary to follow its characteristics, changes and evolution over time, through studies of single cases, including ecclesiastical ones. Through the focus on the seigniorial identity of an important Calabrian monastery, Santo Stefano del Bosco, between the fourteenth and early sixteenth century, the essay intends to define the spheres of the exercise of its prerogatives and the process of definition and change over time, taking due account of the available records and memories. Compared to other ecclesiastical lordships in the same framework, the history of the religious institution, the dynamics of the lordship, the relations with the population and the system of dependency are framed in the context of a province of the Kingdom, to understand the impact on the territory and local communities.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
