Eustace III and his gradual amalgamation into the Anglo-Norman polity -- 5. The Apex of Boulonnais Power and the Fickleness of Fate -- 6. Noble by birth, more noble by their deeds and virtues -- 7. Conclusion -- Genealogies -- Appendices -- Bibliography -- Index.This study offers a new model of political development for northern France through an analysis of the interrelationships between the counts of Boulogne and their neighbors in Flanders, Picardy, Normandy, and England. It also illuminates the little studied relations between less powerful counts and their neighboring territorial princes. Organized chronologically from the late ninth through mid-twelfth century, each chapter provides a political narrative and an analysis of the use of kinship and alliance (formal and informal) to govern and conduct politics. The final chapter examines the formation of reputation and identity of the comital family of Boulogne. The book is part of the larger debate on feudalism, the rise of government institutions, kinship and identity.Northern world ;v. 6.NobilityFranceBoulogne-sur-MerHistoryBoulogne-sur-Mer (France)HistoryTo 1500Boulogne-sur-Mer (France)Politics and governmentTo 1500FrancePolitics and government987-1328FranceRelationsGreat BritainGreat BritainRelationsFranceNobilityHistory.944.27Tanner Heather J1755532MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910810836503321Families, friends, and allies4192354UNINA
