Hervé Bouillac

Hervé Bouillac is a researcher at the Interdisciplinary Laboratory for Solidarity, Societies, Territories (LISST) affiliated with École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales (EHESS) in Toulouse, France. His work focuses on medieval French history, particularly administrative structures and monastic records from the 15th century.

His research interests include:

• Medieval French administrative systems, particularly seneschalties and royal governance
• Economic and fiscal history of 15th-century France
• Monastic records and religious communities in medieval France
• Power dynamics between royal authorities and local lords

Bouillac's publications demonstrate a strong focus on primary source analysis, particularly financial documents and monastic obituaries from the Agenais region. His work provides valuable insights into the economic conditions and power structures in southwestern France during the late Middle Ages, particularly during the period following the Hundred Years' War.

Bouillac maintains active scholarly connections with the Académie des Sciences, Lettres et Arts d'Agen, as evidenced by his 2015 publication in the Revue de l'Agenais.
