In Toulouse, in the 14th and 15th centuries, in a difficult and changing context,
the urban elites, embodied by the well-known Capitoulat, actually make up a
heterogeneous, mobile, and divided group. In spite of their social diversity and their
differences, however, these men manage to establish a political identity shared by
this group which includes high-ranking citizens and the ruling urban class. The
purpose of this paper is to examine the to-and-fro movement between the Toulouse
elites’ otherness and identity, which thus invents urban identity, by studying
discourses and representations, thanks to different sources (normative documents
and documents de la pratique, such as notarial records), iconography, but also through
the way of life and material culture.
