The legal position of widows in each region is examined in light of evidence from charters, royal records and sagas to establish a detailed picture of practice. Comparison and family reconstruction are important elements, enabling the book to emphasize the placement of widows within the context of society and its institutions, and to consider fully the impact of individual circumstances on the widows? opportunities for action. The result offers a fresh approach that tests widely accepted generalizations about widows? independence, highlights differences between regions, and suggests the need to reconsider traditional, rigid definitions of kinship systems. 410 0$aNorthern world ;$vv. 49. 606 $aWidows$zIceland$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aWidows$zEngland$zYorkshire$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aAristocracy (Social class)$zIceland$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aAristocracy (Social class)$zEngland$zYorkshire$yTo 1500 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aWidows$xHistory 615 0$aWidows$xHistory 615 0$aAristocracy (Social class)$xHistory 615 0$aAristocracy (Social class) 676 $a306.88/308621094281 700 $aRicketts$b Philadelphia$0883155 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910464254803321 996 $aHigh-ranking widows in medieval Iceland and Yorkshire$91972796 997 $aUNINA
