Original Title:
Συγκρότηση Κράτους και Εβραϊκές Κοινότητες στα Βασίλεια της Αγγλίας και της Γαλλίας κατά τον Ώριμο Μεσαίωνα (11ος-14ος αιώνας).
Translated title:
State-building and Jewish Communities in the Kingdoms of England and France during the High Middle Ages (11th-14th century).
Summary:
The subject of this master’s thesis is the analysis of the state-building process in the kingdoms of England and France during the High Middle Ages and the impact of this process on the Jewish communities of the aforesaid kingdoms. It is a macrohistorical study, stretching from the era of “feudal revolution”, which manifested in France after the disintegration of the Carolingian Empire in the 10th century and in England after the norman conquest of 1066, to the beginning of the 14th century and the reigns of Philip IV and Edward I respectively. More specifically, the long procedure of state forming is presented by examining the governmental and political innovations which took place during the reigns of sixteen monarchs (seven French and nine English). It will be argued that, until the beginning of the 14th century, the kingdoms of France and England developed the two most prominent models of the European state. On the same time, it is asserted that state transformation played a paramount role in the treatment of Jews by governmental authorities as well as the formation of Jewish status, from the time of Jewish settlement until their expulsion from the two kingdoms.
