Articles on the significance of genealogy and kinship ties in
determining political events in the middle ages. In recent decades
historians have become increasingly aware of the value of
prosopography as an auxiliary science standing at the crossroads
between anthropology, genealogy, demography and social history. It
is now developing as an independent research discipline of real
benefit to medievalists. The geographically and chronologically
wide-ranging subjects of the essays in this collection, by scholars
from the British Isles and the Continent, are united bya common
theme, namely the significance of genealogy and kinship ties in
determining political events in the middle ages. The papers,
including a review of the history of prosopography and some of its
major successes as a method by Karl Ferdinand Werner, range from
general considerations of prosopographical and genealogical
methodology (including discussion of Anglo-Norman royal charters)
to specific analyses of individual political and kinship groups
(including the genealogy of the counts of Anjou and a
rehabilitation of the prosopographical material in Wace's Roman de
Rou). The main geographic focus is England and France from the
tenth to the twelfth centuries, but other areas as diverse as
Celtic Ireland and the Latin Principality of Antioch also come
under prosopographical scrutiny. Contributors: DAVID E. THORNTON,
