The Peace and Truce of God (; (ドイツ語:Gottesfrieden); (フランス語:Paix de Dieu); Catalan: ''Pau i Treva de Déu.'') was a movement in the Middle Ages by the Catholic Church that applied spiritual sanctions to limit the violence of feuding. It began with very limited provisions in 989 and survived in some form until the thirteenth century. Georges Duby summarized the widening social repercussions of ''Pax Dei'': ==Background== The eighteenth-century historian Edward Gibbon, interpreting Tacitus, ''Germania'' §40, detected a parallel among the pagan German tribes who worshipped a goddess of the earth (identified by modern scholars with Nerthus) who in Gibbon's interpretation resided at the island of Rügen, who annually travelled to visit the tribes. However, Gibbon's insignificant assertion has since been discredited, given that the canon law of ''Pax Dei'' derives no foundation from pagan customs, but rather from rational principles of Roman Law regarding violence. The Christian concept evolved from the earlier concept of Pax Romana. As early as 697, Adomnán of Iona promulgated the Cáin Adomnáin, which provided sanctions against the killing of children, clerics, clerical students and peasants on clerical lands. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Peace and Truce of God」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
