After the capture of Constantinople by the armies of the Fourth Crusade in 1204, the conquerors elected a new emperor to rule them. This paper aims at studying the relationships between this emperor and various collective institutions such as assemblies, parliaments and councils, which were frequently organised by the Latins in order to take decisions. I argue that political practice in the new Latin Empire of Constantinople was built on the fundamental principle of sharing power between the emperor and these collective institutions. A close reading of Geoffroy of Villehardouin's chronicle from a lexicographical point of view will show that this negotiation system was by no means a sign of political weakness on the part of Latin lords but a standard way of doing politics. Furthermore, by analysing the Latin Empire's constitutional treatises, we will see that this political concept of sharing power kept vivid a sense of public authority besides the traditional feudal paradigm built on private links. Actually, the emperor and the collective institutions were part of an imperial structure, and this imperium bound its subjects to public obedience. Lastly, this paper will focus on various strategies employed by the Latin Emperor in order to overtake the collective institutions and establish his own autocratic authority. This mix of public and private obedience created complex political configurations and structured aristocratic relationships in the Latin Empire.

Imperator da AMORC Convicções D esde o seu nascimento até o presente dia você tem aprendido e tem forjado sua própria filosofia. Há palavras, ideias e sentimentos que ressoam mais em você do que nos outros. Se nossos gostos são ecléticos em matéria de artes, quer se trate de música, pintura, escultura ou mesmo culinária, nossa maneira de viver, de trabalhar, de passar as férias etc., difere de uma sociedade à outra, de uma família à outra ou de um indivíduo a outro. O mesmo se aplica às nossas convicções políticas, morais e espirituais.
