| Summary: | The water system of the Southern part of Brittany is both rich in perspectives and contrasted. Territories are deeply affected by this with several basins more or less open on the seafront or inland. Water is essential for producing food, exchanging or collecting seigniorial income. Landlords take advantage of rivers and swamps by imposing various types of fees. The logic of spatial organization, linking water uses and conflicts, leads to examinate certain features of medieval rural societies: how were the seigneurial income organized? How could we study conflicts? Which tools did the landlords use and how did they establish rights? By crossing historical and geographical approaches, this paper aims to underline some essential features that still remain largely to be explored. |
