Resumen
En este trabajo el autor aborda «some processes of citizen claims and city networking that took place in the late Middle Ages. I will focus on one of the networks of cities and citizens, and its process of self-institution: the so-called Fraternity of Noble and Non-Noble Knights of 1315 (hereafter Fraternity). As I will show, an examination of this institution reveals a powerful and necessary response on behalf of urban groups to participate in «war by other means» -that is, in politics» (p. 189)
