FORME ALE VIOLENŢEI ASUPRA FEMEILOR ÎN BANATUL MEDIEVAL (1350–1450)
SHAPES OF VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN IN THE MEDIEVAL BANAT (1350-1450)

Summary/Abstract: The present issue aims to catch some aspects of the violence against women in the medieval Banat community, on the account of some unpublished and published documents preserved up to us. I do believe that the analyzed cases reveal the inter-human relations which substantially overleapt sometimes the limits of decorum, even if I do not pretend that my research is an exhaustive one. In the limited frame of the documentary content according to that time blanks and need to strictly express a juridical situation, we might find details in some species that offered the opportunity to find out the abuses the noble or subservient women had to face than, and these ones are to be pointed out. I do hope that such joined details draw o more vivid and shaded image of the role the woman played inside the family, or in society, without a forced extension of the facts. Another explanation is needed here: given the nature of the preserved papers, the content of papers differs aleatory; so there are detailed data in some of the cases or any summary ones concerning judicial acts resulted from violence against women.
