What is the real story of the history of medieval aristocracy? For 300 years scholars in Britain and France have been working industriously to explain the idea of medieval aristocracy. This book is the first attempt at reconciling English and French ideas about aristocracy, and shaping them into a new debate. Reinvents the debate on historiography Summarises and assesses three centuries of work
The Birth of Nobility analyses the enormous international field of publications on the subject of medieval aristocracy, breaking it down into four key debates: noble conduct, noble lineage, noble class and noble power. Each issue is subjected to a thorough review by comparing current scholarship with what a vast range of historical source material actually says. It identifies the points of divergence in the national traditions of each of these debates and highlights where they have been mutually incomprehensible. For students studying medieval Europe.
