Minutes between communities (Historical Dictionary of Cultural and Queyras)

In his book A Negotiated World , Harriet Rosenberg, who studied the social and economic history of sheltered for three centuries, the sixteenth to the eighteenth century, highlights a trait that has long characterized public life in the Queyras and, she says, helps to define attitudes Queyrassins. This feature appears in the adjective Negotiated that translates as "compromise." In their history, Queyrassins have shown a penchant for negotiation not only in business affairs, but also to resolve disputes between families or to govern collective issues. Early literacy skills, they were very attached to the written law. The charter they signed in 1343 with the Dauphin and through which they negotiated by paying large civil liberties on a scale unknown elsewhere (see the articles "charters of freedom" and "charter of 1343) , certify that.

In the chapter "an incredible degree of vanity: institutions, politics and power," Ms. Rosenberg cites military engineers of Vauban or stewards of the kingdom, all of which in written reports or letters, attest to the fierce desire of Queyrassins to assert their rights, even indicating a public spirit that defines them as a "republic" almost independently.
However, if disputes have pitted seven communities in the administration of the kingdom or communities of Embrun (well, about the many bridges destroyed by floods Combe: who should have the burden of the remake? In "owners" Guillestre Queyrassins or users?), disputes have also opposed the communities, and that about the rights of each, Boundaries, grazing or affouage. One of the most common causes of conflict was the forest, about which communities would not hesitate to sue against each other long and costly trial, either because the negotiations could not lead to "compromise" or because the institutions of the escarton were unsuitable for resolving these conflicts, either because the interests involved were so strong that no compromise was possible. These facts show the boundaries of the wonderful view of Mrs. Rosenberg. The compromise, which she Queyras think he characterized the old regime, paused at the foot of the cliff of interest, only series of trials could reconcile in part.
The archives are full of Queyras minutes of these proceedings.

Historians - and especially Jean Claude Tivollier Isnel - have noted and quoted, without linking them with social structures and cultural attitudes. Let us recall a few. The
near Pra-Patris Riou and Forest Green are on the territory of the municipality of Ceillac at the municipal boundary of Guillestre Molines and Chateau-Ville-Vieille. The inhabitants of Molines were allowed to graze their livestock and cut wood. Ceillac, then, was not part of escarton Queyras, but depended Embrun. As the population grew steadily and missing land, countless conflicts involving livestock and property seized, erupted and lengthy trials have pitted the two communities of the fourteenth to the late eighteenth century. The forest of
Fusina, which is downstream of the Guardian Angel, which occupies the southern part of the common Arvieux, was "albergée" (as the word used in the contracts established in the late Middle Ages , that is to say, in French modern, "licensed") to the "community" of Saint-Veran (whose territory was - and still is - almost devoid of forests), who obtained the enjoyment in perpetuity. The residents of Chateau-Queyras, the village closest to the forest, felt robbed, challenged this "abergeage" and engaged in protracted trials so that their rights are restored to the forest.
Marassan Forest, one of the finest and oldest Queyras Ubacs covers the left bank of the Guil, between Shelter and Needles. It extends over the territories of the two municipalities, even if it occupies more hectares Abriès to Needles. For centuries the two communities came into conflict over the demarcation of their respective fields. The stakes were high. Which of the two communities were returning the timber, a source of significant revenues, and pasture in the forest? The first trial took place in 1387 and the last in 1834. The awards, which confirmed the rights of hands on part of the forest, were challenged by shelter, which gave rise to a new trial.

These facts are proved very important to understand what was and what he Queyras is still perhaps. First, although the folklorists of the late nineteenth century and first half of the twentieth have insisted on the abundant wealth of oral traditions, the Queyras is also a rural valley culture and written traditions, the two traditions oral and written, does not necessarily mutually exclusive. Secondly, these traditions are not only written literature or in connection with the early education and are also - and above - legal and had a duty to ensure the sustainability of the higher interests of the communities. Finally, we must keep idyllic visions of former escarton we can read here and there in the writings of local historians. Violent conflicts of interest between the communities have. This has resulted in strengthening the peculiarities of each, which allows, among other factors, to explain the persistent mistrust that characterizes relations sometimes necessary relationship between the Commons today. Solidarity between the communities was not as strong, serene and strong than is said and written here or there, so that when the negotiation fails, the disputes were brought before the justice of Dauphiné: that is, ultimately, that of the centralized state.
