Publisher's Synopsis

This text describes the behaviour, attitudes and environment of the Haute Auvergne region of France, where, due to a poor police force, disputes were often settled privately. It provides an insight into the brutal world of the Auvergnats as well as the workings of the royal criminal justice system.
