Hospitalitas: Barbarian settlements and constitutional foundations of medieval Europe
论证5-6世纪蛮族定居通过分配土地或税收，调整了蛮族战士与罗马地主及精英的激励，导致军事力量分散，战士成为政治上有权力的王国股东，为君主与军事贵族间的权力平衡奠定基础，从而影响了中世纪欧洲的有限政府传统。
Abstract A rough balance of political power between monarchs and a militarized landed aristocracy characterized medieval Western Europe. Scholars have argued that this balance of power contributed to a tradition of limited government and constitutional bargaining. I argue that 5 th - and 6th-century barbarian settlements created a foundation for this balance of power. The settlements provided barbarians with allotments of lands or taxes due from the lands. The allotments served to align the incentives of barbarian warriors and Roman landowners, and realign the incentives of barbarian warriors and their leadership elite. Barbarian military forces became decentralized and the warriors became political powerful shareholders of the realm.
