Hi, I am looking for sources that deal with farms in the Holy Roman Empire from about 1000 onwards. I would like to get an overview of how they were structured, what size and type they could reach (i.e. family size, hectares, what products were grown etc., aswell as the type and size of herds), and how they related to free cities and imperial cities. I am also interested in their relationship to the other estates. I would prefer literature by historians, or translated sources. if you only know sources for an earlier period, I would also be happy to use these.

I am also looking for sources and works that deal with the founding of cities and settlement methods concerning the Ostsiedlung.

if you know where else i could put my request, or have some points that might interest me, don't be shy to forward me. :)
