The conclusion of the book offers a programmatic summary of the project. Written by one of the editors, Paulo Pachá, it emphasizes that the volume intends to challenge the model of a weakening Visigothic state, which relates to the ideas of feudalization or “proto-feudalization” that characterized earlier Visigothic scholarship. Indeed, the notion of a conflict between monarchy and aristocracy, in which the latter emerged as the winner by absorbing much of public authority, was a powerful strand of twentieth century Visigothic historiography. Yet it was certainly not the only available position, and other historians and archaeologists embraced the more “Romanist” (or “Byzantine”) view of Visigothic society. Be that as it may, the book presents itself as a corrective for an important strand of past historiography. The contributions primarily focus only on the “top tier” power structure—that is, powers central and local. Appartiene alle Collane Editoriali
How did the breakdown of Roman rule in the Iberian peninsula eventually result in the formation of a Visigothic kingdom with authority centralised in Toledo? This collection of essays challenges the view that local powers were straightforwardly subjugated to the expanding central power of the monarchy. Rather than interpret countervailing events as mere 'delays' in this inevitable process, the contributors to this book interrogate these moments to uncover the hidden agency of individuals and local authorities. What emerges is a story of contested interests seeking cooperation through institutions and social practices that were flexible enough to stabilise a system that was hierarchical yet mutually beneficial for multiple social groups. By examining the Visigothic settlement, the interplay between central and local power, the use of ethnic identity, projections of authority, and the role of the Church, this book articulates a model for understanding the formation of a large and important early medieval kingdom.
