Family politics means competition and cooperation within the ruling family, shaped at every point by the human life-cycle of birth, marriage and death, and also by ideas of what a dynasty was. Hence the two parts of the book, the life-cycle and a sense of dynasty. The main dynasties are listed in Appendix A. A full bibliography on this subject would fill a library but references have been given for all direct quotations and for facts other than those easily accessible A few directly relevant titles have also been cited"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Royal houses $z Europe $x History $y To 1500. 650 0 $a Kings and rulers, Medieval. 650 0 $a Monarchy $z Europe $x History $y To 1500. 650 0 $a Civilization, Medieval. 650 0 $a Kinship $x History. $z Europe $x History. 651 0 $a Europe $x Politics and government $y 476-1492. 648 7 $a To 1500 $2 fast 776 08 $i Online version: $a Bartlett, Robert, 1950- $t Blood royal $d Cambridge, United Kingdom ; New York, NY : Cambridge University Press, 2020 $z 9781108854559 $w (DLC) 2019039299 830 0 $a James Lydon lectures in medieval history and culture 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20220303011038.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D0017EF2047611EB89AE83802EECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
