Conflict, Bargaining, and Kinship Networks in Medieval Eastern
Europe takes the familiar view of Eastern Europe, families, and
conflicts and stands it on its head. Instead of a world rife with
civil war and killing, this book presents a relatively structured
environment where conflict is engaged in for the purposes of
advancing one's position, and where death among the royal families
is relatively rare. At the heart of this analysis is the use of
situational kinship networks-relationships created by elites for
the purposes of engaging in conflict with their own kin, but only
for the duration of a particular conflict. A new image of medieval
Eastern Europe, less consumed by civil war and mass death, will
change the perception of medieval Eastern Europe in the minds of
readers. This new perception is essential to not only present the
past more accurately, but also to allow for medieval Eastern
Europe's integration into the larger medieval world as something
other than an aberrant other.
