The author analyzes mature medieval legal thought to highlight, around normative and jurisdictional freedoms, the affirmation of both a doctrine and a practice of the freedom to rule (of the potestas condendi statute) of which the empire constituted the sovereign guarantee of an order anchored to the idea of iurisdictio and the exercise of justice; the "pathologies" of power - the tyrannical degeneration or the evanescence of imperial authority - were therefore included in a Bartolo da Sassoferrato or in a Dante Alighieri (in his treatise on the empire) in the context of a vindication of the public character of freedom as a supreme legal good.
