Sommario/riassunto

This book delves into the history of the ruling families of Rus, exploring the genesis and dynamics of dynasties. It examines the concept of dynasty in the context of Rus history and argues against imposing modern notions of dynastic rule on historical figures. The authors, Christian Raffensperger and Donald Ostrowski, analyze how familial ties, rather than a strict hereditary line, influenced claims to rule. By focusing on individual families and their relationships, the book highlights the contingencies and complexities of Rus politics. It aims to present a nuanced view of history, emphasizing the roles of women and



alliances in shaping political landscapes.
