This volume examines the aristocracy in Tuscany and in England
across a period of two and a half centuries (1000-1250). It deals
first with Tuscany, tracing the history of the aristocracy and
illustrating its nature and evolution, and observing aristocratic
behaviour and attitudes, and how aristocrats related to other
members of society. Peter Coss then examines the history of England
in the same periods. It is not, however, a comparative history, but
employs Italian insights to look at the aristocracy in England and
to move away from the traditional interpretation which revolves
around Magna Carta and the idea of English exceptionalism. By
offering a study of the aristocracy across a wide time-frame and
with themes drawn from Italian historiography, Coss offers a new
approach to studying aristocracy within its own contexts.
