Review # 1 was written on 2019-01-22 00:00:00 Hezekiah Sermons Ruiz sets himself between Strayer in looking for the medieval origins of the modern state and Le Goff in examining something akin to a secularization of society in the thirteenth century. He sees radical change in a number of areas in Castile: inheritance patterns move towards primogeniture, charity becomes more symbolic and is increasingly given to smaller numbers of institutions, boundaries are drawn both in a legal sense for property and far Castile as a polity, and the monarchy turned away from thirteenth century trends of sacralized kingship. However, this “laicization” created rigid social hierarchies and the boundaries proved harsh for minorities and ultimately set the stage for violence against the crown and people.

Review # 2 was written on 2008-05-25 00:00:00 Tonya Benton Dated at this point and very dry writing. However, it's a good analysis of America through a power-conflict lens, clearly arguing that those with power write the rules by which the rest of us all must play.
