Summary, in English
In this article the author examines varieties of
resource-conflicts between peasants and lords regarding woods and forests in Scania, Denmark, during the late 15th and early 16th centuries. Important results are among others that the wood resource was very disputed this period due to an increasing population pressure as well as an expansive landed aristocracy. The patterns of conflict were often complex, involving cooperation between peasants and lords on both sides. The conflicts also illustrate the different actions peasants could choose in social conflicts, with legal negotiations, risings, political negotiations and some times royal privileges and legislation.
