 Communes - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about Communes
The communes of many cities asserted their independence from the overlordship of either the Holy Roman Emperor or the pope, only to fall under the domination of oligarchies or despots during the 13th and 14th centuries.
The commune is now the unit of local governmental administration in France, and is composed of the citizens, a council elected by the commune itself, and a maire appointed by the state.
Communes also developed from early 17th-century religious communities such as the Rosicrucians and Muggletonians, to more radical groups such as the Diggers and the Quakers (members of the Society of Friends).
