Par l’écrit et par le droit : la construction du Bien commun à Marseille au XIVe siècle

Par l’écrit et par le droit : la construction du Bien commun à Marseille au XIVe siècle - 2015.

From the example, in the years 1350, of an open conflict in the heart of the Marseilles oligarchy, brought to light by the funds of royal justice, but which is not mentioned in the sources recorded by the Council of Marseilles, the present article examines the status of municipal written work and reveals the political and legal usage made by the Marseilles assembly of its registers. These so-called “deliberative” registers actually only contain the consensual result of the discussions, in the form of unanimist edicts. Only rare disagreements were recorded, at the express request of one council member or another, without ever calling into question the unity of the City’s government. In the destabilizing context of Angevin rule in Provence, the political cohesion of the City Council was constructed in opposition to the royal officers: procedures of protestation and accusations against them of committing enormities, duly registered, had undermined their authority. Thus, through the Written Word and through the Law, the tools of the City’s government were forged in the heart of a critical situation.
