With the power of Rome removed, the Catholic Church stepped in to fill the void. Its political rise, alongside that of the Germanic kingdoms, led to dramatic changes in law, politics, power, and culture. Against the backdrop of that upheaval, the family became a vitally important area of focus for cultural struggles related to morality, law, and tradition. This book explores those battles in order to demonstrate, through the family, the intersections between Roman and Christian legal culture, thought, and political power. 650 0 $a Marriage $z Europe, Western $x History $y To 1500. 650 0 $a Parenthood $z Europe, Western $x History $y To 1500. 650 0 $a Families $z Europe, Western $x History $y To 1500. 650 0 $a Marriage customs and rites, Medieval $z Europe, Western. 650 0 $a Marriage law $z Europe, Western $y To 1500. 650 7 $a Marriage. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01010443 650 7 $a Families. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01728849 650 7 $a Manners and customs. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01007815 650 7 $a Marriage customs and rites, Medieval. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01010603 651 7 $a Europe. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01245064 830 0 $a Social worlds of late antiquity and the early Middle Ages ; $v 1. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191211023237.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E0302660E55311E7AFB0C42A97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
