| Résumé : | In this contribution, the author aims at testing the method to reconstruct parishes and pirimitive domains (estates) by way of three brief case-studies devoted to domanial centres depending on the abbey of Prüm, and on the basis of this abbey's polyptych. He draws conclusions concerning the morphology of aristocratic great property in the ninth century. At first, a historiographical review of the issue of the structure of large estates in the early Middle Ages is provided. One slaient feature is the regressive method, set up by Brassine in 1907 and applied, in the particular cas of the domain of Villance, by Georges Despy in several works. Then, the author analyses the depiction of Prüm's properties in Villance and concludes, in opposition to previous scholars, that it could not have been a great domain in one portion but a lordly ensemble with a looser and less stable structure involving several eminent landowners, laymen as well as ecclesiastics, and an intermingling of lordly territories of power (potestates. Similar situations are found in the area of Bastogne, around Tavigny, Mabompré and Bastogne. The author sets up a new typology of manorial structures, better suited to comprehend the realities of spatial hierarchisation in the Carolingian period. |
