Seignorial Economy in Feudal Times

Abstract

Abstract There is a need and space for advancing the historical and theoretical exploration of the seignorial economy of the feudal era. Previous studies mostly focused on the field of manors, and did not pay attention to the importance of cities and feudalism to the composition and characteristics of the seignorial economy. Therefore, in this paper, the urban and feudal spheres are included in the seignorial economy in addition to the manor, and the seignorial economy is studied in a more holistic manner in order to reveal its intrinsic economic characteristics.
