Description
Summary:The poultry farming little interested the historians of the medieval rural economy. The article reconsiders at first the question of the seigniorial levies of poultry, often quoted but little studied. Then two questioning could be asked: the generalization of the poultry breeding at the peasants and the outlets of the levies (nobiliary consumption or market). From two examples (Firenze and Languedoc), the article explains the organization of this market. At the end of the 16th century, medieval model is questioned. With the treaty of Prudent Le Choyselat, we attend a first attempt of economic rationalization by the development of an intensive and specialized breeding.
