Medieval Narbonne

A City at the Heart of the Troubadour World. This volume charts the development and history of Narbonne, from its Roman origins to its decline in the late Middle Ages, focusing on the period from the mid-11th to the mid-14th centuries and the rule of viscountess Ermengarde in the era of the troubadours. The articles cover the physical growth of the great medieval centre, the relations and conflicts between its secular and ecclesiastical lords, its administrative and religious life, and its political and commercial connections with surrounding areas.
