This study explores the role and function of the Byzantine aristocratic family group, or 'genos', as a distinct social entity, particularly its political and cultural role, as it appears in a variety of sources in the tenth through twelfth centuries.Beyond medieval Europe.Aristocracy (Social class)Byzantine EmpireKinshipByzantine EmpireElite (Social sciences)Byzantine EmpireByzantine EmpireHistory527-1081Byzantine EmpireHistoryComneni dynasty, 1081-1185Byzantine EmpireHistoryAngeli, 1185-1204Byzantine EmpireSocial conditionsAristocracy (Social class)KinshipElite (Social sciences)949.502Leidholm Nathan(Nathan Paul),1038594UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910480795103321Elite Byzantine kinship, ca. 950-12042460301UNINA
