Nordic Elites in Transformation, c. 1050-1250, Volume II explores
the structures and workings of social networks within the elites of
medieval Scandinavia to reveal the intricate relationship between
power and status. Section one of this volume categorizes basic
types of personal bonds, both vertical and horizontal, while
section two charts patterns of local, regional and transnational
elite networks from wide-scope, longitudinal perspectives. Finally,
the third section turns to case-studies of networks in action,
analyzing strategies and transactions implied by uses of social
resources in specific micro-political settings. A concluding
chapter discusses how social power in the North compared to wider
European experiences. A wide range of sources and methodologies is
applied to reveal how networks were established, maintained, and
put to use - and how they transformed in processes of centralizing
power and formalizing hierarchies. The engagement with and analysis
of intriguing primary source material has produced a key teaching
tool for instructors and essential reading for students interested
in the workings of medieval Scandinavia, elite class structures,
and Social and Political History more generally.
