description Returning to some episodes of the “Viscount War” which pitted the consulate of Narbonne and Viscount Aymeric VI in 1381-1382, this article intends to highlight some of the facets of seigniorial violence in the late Middle Ages, operated at the expense of inermes coming either from the city of Narbonne itself, or from the surrounding villages. Beyond the obvious continuity of a certain number of gestures and destructions, of which we can already identify the beginnings during feudal times and which are all markers of seignorial domination, the originality of the Narbonne documentation resides in the specific description of a number of devastations operated by the viscount troops and in the recognition of the victims. Then, it makes possible to escape from an almost stereotyped description of the manorial violence and to apprehend this violence as the reimposition by the force of a lordly arbitrary, challenged by legal means.
