A further, longer term objective is to use the material to illuminate the differing evolution and formation of English and French society by comparing the emergence of modern concepts of property rights in the two countries.<br> <br><B>Main Topics</B>:<BR>Six datasets of material drawn from the Archives of the Departmentales of Seine Maritime (Rouen), Calvados (Caen), Cote dOr (Dijon), Tarn (Albi), Ariege (Foix) :<br> (1) 337 court procedings/sentences 1656-1690<br> (2) 203 marriage contracts 1667-1702 (1713,1818)<br> (3) 161 property transfers mostly sales, 1671-1700 (1639, 1660 1706, 1719)<br> (4) 98 wills, 1667-1702 (1719)<br> (5) 70 donations 1661-91 (1654, 1700)<br> (6) 28 amical agreements registered by lawyers (1670-1,1690,1693-4, 1721-2)<br> <br> Please note: this study does not include information on named individuals and would therefore not be useful for personal family history research.<br> <br> 1998 - 200001 January 199801 January 2000 France BurgundyLanguedocNormandyAriegeComt de Foix Text units (documents/chapters/words)Subnational Selected registers of notaires and heterogeneous documents on French property rights for the period of 1660-1715 Text Cross-sectional (one-time) study See documentation for details Transcription of existing materials <p>The Data Collection is available to UK Data Service registered users subject to the <a href="https://ukdataservice.ac.uk/app/uploads/cd137-enduserlicence.pdf" target="_blank">End User Licence Agreement</a>.</p> See <restrctn> Parker, D.
