My thesis is investigating a sharp peak and decline in interpersonal violence in Languedoc between 1680 and 1720. By using trial documents and inquisitorial investigations, my research aims to understand and explore the wider problems of violence and its relation to subjects such as honour and the self, the family, gender and social status.
