Note on Usage

All technical terms are explained at first reference (in the
absence of a glossary). They may be accessed by consulting
the index. The commonest technical terms in Italian—contado,
distretto, signore, signoria (and their plurals), podestà, popolo,
terraferma—have not been italicized.
All foreign place‐ and personal names are given according to
modern regional or national usage, except where standard
English designations exist. However, I use Konstanz, not
Constance, though the lake remains Lake Constance, in the
absence of an English equivalent; Basel is now the only
acceptable usage, rather than Basle or Bâle; Luzern and Bern
retain their German forms since they are Germanophone.
In the East European countries all Slavic names are given
first, with commonly deployed German names in brackets at
first mention. All such names are cross‐referenced in the
index. In bilingual places I give both languages only at first
reference (Freiburg im Üchtland/Fribourg), but repeat
bilingual usage in the case of Kortrijk/Courtrai, and Sion/
Sitten.
Rulers are given in most instances with English Christian
names; lesser princes and lords retain their indigenous names.
In the case of the Hungarian monarchs who were also rulers of

the kingdom of Naples, hopeless inconsistency prevails; I have
followed modern usage in English‐language works.
Where distances are not given in kilometres, one German mile
is the equivalent of 4.6 statute miles (7.4 kilometres).
Currency relations are so various that it is futile to attempt
conversions. Wherever possible, I have given totals in florins,
but readers must be aware that the florin fluctuated greatly in
value. By the late fifteenth century the florin's rate of
exchange to the pound (at least in northern Europe) was
around 11½ fl to the £ of twenty shillings and 240 pence.
There is disagreement about the rate of the Venetian ducat to
the florin: between a premium of 25 per cent and a discount of
10–12 per cent.
To avoid confusion, Estates (social corporations, political
associations) are distinguished from estates (lands) by the use
of an initial capital for the (p.xi) former. The same principle
applies to the sixteenth‐century Contadi and Territori as
representative political organs in Italian city‐states, as distinct
from their hinterlands. The terms seigneurie/seigneurial for
rural feudal jurisdictions and signoria/signorial for urban
lordships are deliberately retained, despite potential
confusion, in order to draw attention to the connections which
are often made between them. (p.xii)
