The Three Orders: Feudal Society Imagined

Description

Translation of Les trois ordres

cited in Elliott 1993 p. 94 (PDF p. 110): "Georges Duby has further examined the rise of a new vision of society based on its purportedly trifunctional orders of men: those who pray, those who fight, and those who work the land—a clearly vexed description insofar as it ignores both the rising merchant class and women altogether."
