The article examines seven petitions made to the Commune of Genoa by as many wives and their legal agents in 1297. The women were claiming immediate return of their dowries, since their spouses had been banished from the city during an outburst of violent factional conflict. Law and government ensured that the dotal fund was safeguarded allowing for a substantial reintegration and protection of property which ultimately benefitted the banished men themselves.
