Abstract

The author comments the monographic section The queens’ estates: fiscal properties and royal policy (9th-10th Century), highlighting the different courses which each author has followed ‒ despite a very precise set of questions common to all ‒ in compliance with the diverse cases taken under examination. Thus the ensemble of studies, in tight dialogue both with contemporaneous and earlier historiography, contributes to clarify the conscious and flexible use of fiscal lands in the dowers bestowed to the queens and, within that same perspective, the articulated function of monastic foundations.
