• Resumen

  • This article aims to provide an interpretation of the crises and changes produced in the West between the end of the Roman Empire and the twelfth century, understood as the transition from the ancient system to feudalism. It is not a question of a new examination of the celebrated debate on eleventh-century feudal change, revolution or mutation, but a personal contribution that, given its chronological and geographic framework, cannot fail to consider the fundamental elements of this debate.
