Unpicking the basic assumptions behind both national traditions, this book explains them, reconciles them and offers entirely new ways to take the study of aristocracy forward in both England and France.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Birth of Nobility \u003c\/em\u003eanalyses the enormous international field of publications on the subject of medieval aristocracy, breaking it down into four key debates: noble conduct, noble lineage, noble class and noble power. Each issue is subjected to a thorough review by comparing current scholarship with what a vast range of historical source material actually says. It identifies the points of divergence in the national traditions of each of these debates and highlights where they have been mutually incomprehensible.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor students studying medieval Europe.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Crouch\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0582369819\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780582369818\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/01\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.27lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.22h x 6.30w x 0.84d","brand":"David Crouch","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43920258924799,"sku":"9780582369818","price":62.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_9b90fe3f-1c14-448d-9b5f-df0265853aea.jpg?v=1680814411","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-birth-of-nobility-david-crouch-9780582369818","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
