This dissertation highlights the experiences of three Friulian women alive in the first half of the sixteenth-century who negotiated complex issues around property, rights, and law generated out of conflicts in or around their marriages. In examining moments of transition and conflict in their lives through the lens of material culture we learn a great deal about the ways early modern women could assert agency in a time and place undergoing significant social change. Through a comparison of three microhistorical case-studies, similar motives, strategies and aspirations emerge. Giulia de Urbanis, Mora Quagliana, and Agata di Varmo all engaged in inheritance disputes in order to ensure their economic well-being. In their attempts to right perceived injustices in their lives, Giulia, Mora, and Agata all exercised agency within a legal system not known for being particularly receptive to challenges to patriarchal norms. These women are each representative of different social and marital statuses, and therefore the impact of the elements of class and the intersection of legal systems on agency is explored. Additionally, the material objects at the heart of these lawsuits, which these women went to great lengths to secure, help paint a picture of their domestic worlds and establish the vital importance of dotal goods to women's survival. By focusing this examination in Friuli, a territory at the intersection of the era's key social, political and legal movements, we gain a more nuanced impression of the Italian peninsula in the sixteenth-century and expand our understanding of how these intersections shaped women's experience. This study argues that, when taken together, the experiences of Giulia, Mora, and Agata demonstrate that agentic capacity was shaped by class and status. Specifically, women could exploit traditional gender roles, concepts of honour, and a range of social networks in order to manipulate legal ambiguities to their advantage during times of social upheaval.
