The Briennes were a highly important aristocratic family who hailed
from the Champagne region of north-eastern France, but whose reach
and impact extended across Europe and into the Crusader States in
the Middle East. It is a highly dramatic and wide-ranging story of
medieval mobility, not only up and down the social ladder, but in
geographical terms as well. Although the Briennes were one of the
great dynasties of the central Middle Ages, this book represents
the first comprehensive history of the family. Taking the form of
parallel biographies and arranged broadly chronologically, it
explores not only their rise, glory and fall, but also how they
helped to shape the very nature of the emerging European state
system. This book will appeal to students and scholars of medieval
France, the Mediterranean world, the Crusades and the central
Middle Ages.
