Conflict solving strategies in an international commercial metropolig (Bruges in the late medieval period)
| Mechanisms of solving conflict were crucial in the functioning
of medieval cities. In order to control the impact of violent strife among the ruling elites or other social groups in society, to avoid economic disturbance and to remain attractive for economic initiative or to prevent
social struggle, various systems of avoiding conflict were established from the communal phase at the start of the urbanization process onwards.
The session wants to address the problems and difficulties involved in procedures of appeasement as well as the opportunities and advantages that
these systems had. It aims at comparing political, juridical, social and economic mechanisms of solving conflict. This paper will address the world of commerce in late Medieval Bruges. It
will look at the way merchant companies tried to develop their trade in this commercial metropolis and how they negotiated with the local
political institutions, represented by the city authorities and the count
of Flanders (duke of Burgundy).
