Spory o česť, rituály násilia a konflikty v stredovekom Bardejove

A study of medieval Bardejov reveals that conflicts over honor and dishonor were prevalent among town citizens, guild members, and clerics, often escalating from slander to violence. Preserved 'threatening letters' provide unique insights into the strategies used by conflicting parties, including town authorities, to issue warnings and state intentions of harm. The research combines analysis of legal sources with judicial practice to explore the role of violence in everyday life and the tactics employed by authorities to mitigate conflicts. This dual approach offers a nuanced understanding of crime dynamics and authority responses in late medieval urban settings.
