Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Kindred and Clan, in the Middle Ages and After: A Study in the Sociology of the Teutonic Races The aim of this book is to discover how long the solidarity of the kindred survived as a social factor of importance in the various Teutonic countries. The lack of accessible information on the subject was brought home to me by the difficulty I experienced in qualifying my own ignorance with regard to it, - an ignorance of which I only became aware through reading Dr Brunner's Sippe und Wergeld nach altniederdeutschen Rechten. I had just worked out the results embodied in the first chapter of this book, and the startling contrast between their negative character and the ample evidence set forth by Dr Brunner evoked a desire to know why the kindreds should have endured so long in North Germany, where they were assailed by so many adverse influences, while I had found but the faintest traces of their survival in Iceland. The present work is nothing more than an attempt at answering my own questions. In the course of a general survey of the field it became obvious that neglect of the evidence furnished by judicial records and charters had led scholars to attribute too long a lease of life to the system in some countries, and to under-estimate its duration in others; and that the causes usually adduced for its break-up only serve to complicate the problem still further. Finally there arose the suspicion that even in the later Middle Ages the institution played a part, obscure but not negligible, in the making of history. Thus I was lured on by successive problems, until the book was written, and I had never so much as asked myself whether my stock of legal and linguistic knowledge was equal to the demands made upon it.

Download or read book Literature and Law in the Middle Ages written by John A. Alford and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-07-17 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1984, Literature and Law in the Middle Ages is a comprehensive bibliography on the subject of literature and law in the Middle Ages. The collection was composed with the notion that early society regarded literature, law and religion from the same single point of view. It discusses how for many medieval poets, their art existed primarily to enforce obedience to God and king and suggests that society viewed law as a chief instrument of the divine will in human affairs. The book’s comprehensive introduction argues that eventually, these areas of diverged and became separate; this bibliography covers the broad period of the Middle Ages from the 5th to the 15th century and examines this period of transition during which, the process was not yet complete. This bibliography will be vital resource for those studying medieval studies, both in literature and history.
Download or read book Re Thinking Kinship and Feudalism in Early Medieval Europe written by Stephen D. White and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-07-07 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the second collection of studies by Stephen D. White to be published by Variorum (the first being Feuding and Peace-Making in Eleventh-Century France). The essays in this volume look principally at France and England from Merovingian and Anglo-Saxon times up to the 12th century. They analyze Latin and Old French discourses that medieval nobles used to construct their relationships with kin, lords, men, and friends, and investigate the political dimensions of such relationships with particular reference to patronage/clientage, the use of land as an item of exchange, and feuding. In so doing, the essays call into question the conventional practice of studying kinship and feudalism as independent systems of legal institutions and propose new strategies for studying them.

Download or read book Household and Lineage in Renaissance Florence written by Francis William Kent and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2015-03-08 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Professor Kent is concerned with one of the major questions posed by historical research on the later Middle Ages and the Renaissance: did these periods witness the nuclearization of the aristocratic family? Considering three celebrated and representative Florentine ottimati lineages, the author reconstructs the histories and activities of scores of their households for the period circa 1420-1550. The author describes the nuclear and extended households and the acknowledgement of kinship among the men and separate households of each patrilineage. His analysis indicates that the nuclear family and the clan cannot justifiably be regarded as opposing forms of family organization, each representative of a distinct historical era and social ambience. Professor Kent's study places Renaissance individualism in a wider, more corporate social context than that in which it has been traditionally viewed by historians. Originally published in 1977.
