About This Book

A portrait intertwines the history of a mountainous principality with that of its clerical sovereign, arguing that ruler and people can only be understood together. It surveys terrain, population estimates, administrative divisions, and the semi-confederated nature of surrounding highland territories. Religious institutions and clerical life are examined, noting monastic austerity, a clergy that mixes liturgical and martial roles, and relative toleration of other faiths. Social organization emphasizes clan solidarity, patriarchal family chiefs, communal equality, and the transmission of interfamily feuds. A pervasive martial ethos shapes customs and law: warfare against external foes is sanctified, combat involves all ages, and women may take up arms or seek violent retribution under strict honor codes.
