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. 410 0$aNorthern world ;$vv. 6. 606 $aNobility$zFrance$zBoulogne-sur-Mer$xHistory 607 $aBoulogne-sur-Mer (France)$xHistory$yTo 1500 607 $aBoulogne-sur-Mer (France)$xPolitics and government$yTo 1500 607 $aFrance$xPolitics and government$y987-1328 607 $aFrance$xRelations$zGreat Britain 607 $aGreat Britain$xRelations$zFrance 615 0$aNobility$xHistory. 676 $a944.27 700 $aTanner$b Heather J$01755532 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910810836503321 996 $aFamilies, friends, and allies$94192354 997 $aUNINA
