The institutions of Provence

The institutions of Provence are born, transformed or dissolved across the periods: Roman municipal regimes, prefectures, counties, parlements, then contemporary laws and bodies such as the Conseil de l'Écrit Mistralien. They are not confined to the corpus's institutions theme: they also surface within war, religion or internal politics, wherever a power equips itself with a lasting structure.

This entry groups these institutions by name, with the dates and events in the corpus where each one appears.
