3.1 Monastic patrimonies in the Abruzzi region (Vllth-Xth c.) L. FELLER Monastic domains in the Abruzzi region are created during the eighth and ninth centuries. They benefit from the slow development of land acquisition in the region, due to resistance on the part of allodial peasant society. A two-part domainal organization remains the rule in the agrarian landscape of early medieval Abruzzi. Monasteries rarely produce surpluses, and free peasants succeed in delaying or avoiding completely incorporation into domainal organization. From the late eighth to the late ninth century, castrai domains are in conflict with monastic land organization. Incastellamento is slow and incomplete, and does not fully replace the older agrarian organization into small units until the twelfth century.
