Summary
This volume originated in three sessions on ‘The Rise and Nature of Landless Rural Households in Europe, 16th–19th Century’, as part of the European Rural History (EURHO) Conference held in Leuven (Belgium), 11–14 September 2017. The realisation of this project has been supported by the FWO-funded Comparative Rural History Network (CORN). Very sadly, we have to note that during the publication process, we lost one of the contributors. Dieter Bruneel of Ghent University died prematurely in September 2019 at an extremely young age. However, we are proud that we can present one of his last works as chapter 5 of this volume.
