Attraverso la repressione dei comportamenti giudicati incompatibili, il sistema sanzionatorio dell’Ordine dei cavalieri di Santo Stefano l’Ordine intervenne concretamente per inculcare un apparato di valori condiviso e non necessariamente presente in coloro che vestivano l’abito. Il livello di delittuosità registrato, e l’efficacia e i limiti dell’intervento correttivo, consentono di perlustrare le fasi di costruzione della reputazione nobiliare precipua di questi cavalieri al momento dell’istituzione dell’Ordine e nella fase di massima espansione, nella prima metà del Seicento.

Abstract
Through the repression of proscribed behaviours, the sanctioning system of the Order of the Knights of Santo Stefano concretely intervened to inculcate a set of shared values and not necessarily present in those who wore the knightly coat. The level of crime recorded, and the effectiveness and the limits of the corrective sanctions, allow to explore the phases of construction of the reputation of nobility of these knights during the first decade of the institution of the Order and in the phase of its maximum expansion, in the first half of XVII century.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
