Bertha S. Phillpotts (1863 1932) was an English historian and
linguist of Scandinavia who served as the Director of Scandinavian
Studies in the University of Cambridge from 1926 to 1932. First
published as part of Cambridge Archaeological and Ethnological
Series in 1913, this pioneering and highly influential book
contains a detailed examination of kinship structures in northern
Europe during the early medieval period. In this work, Phillpotts
analyses the laws and literature of seven northern European
countries to explore the kinship structure of their ancient
societies. The references to the legal concept of 'weregild' and
the description of gender hierarchies, together with the range of
evidence examined, cause this work to remain of considerable
relevance for the understanding of kinship systems in medieval
Germanic and Scandinavian societies.
