Reading the passage
This is an EXCEPT question, so we'll look for the topic left out. Keep the three studies available as a map: ritual kingship, French agriculture, and feudal society. Four choices should connect to something we actually read about; the one without that connection is the answer.
Working the answers
- A
Feudal Society analyzes medieval social structure, including the hierarchy from monarch to serfs. This topic is present.
- B
French Rural History compares farming in open fields with farming in enclosures. Agricultural patterns are explicitly covered.
- CCorrect
No political conflict is described as a subject of Bloch's scholarship here. Rulers and political forms are mentioned, but those aren't the same as conflicts between political actors.
- D
The Royal Touch examines beliefs about monarchs' healing powers. We don't have to believe those powers were real for healing powers to be a topic of the study.
- E
The last paragraph explicitly describes “personal ties of loyalty” within lordship. That is part of the account of feudal society.
