The great strength of this collection is its wide range...a valuable work for anyone interested in the social aspects of the medieval nobility. CHOICEArticles on the origins and nature of "nobility", its relationship with the late Roman world, its acquisition and exercise of power, its association with military obligation, and its transformation into a more or less willing instrument of royal government.
