Recensies en Artikelen
''Edoardo Manarini’s Struggles for Power in the Kingdom of Italy applies new methodological approaches to the often narrowly considered Hucpoldings. […] this publication is sure to serve as the foundation for future study of the expansive kinship group.
The book is a well-researched and insightful exploration of the development and exercise of power within the Hucpolding dynasty.
Manarini has provided a fruitful framework that would complement other approaches, including those of material culture and gender studies.''

Edoardo Manarini
Struggles for Power in the Kingdom of Italy
The Hucpoldings, c. 850-c. 1100
De onderstaande tekst is niet beschikbaar in het Nederlands en wordt in het Engels weergegeven.
This book presents a detailed study of the Hucpoldings, an elite group in Carolingian and post-Carolingian Italy. Though the Hucpoldings have not received extensive treatment in previous anglophone scholarship, they had a key influence in much of what was happening in this period. Manarini’s groundbreaking study highlights the dramatic geopolitical changes surrounding this kinship group in the kingdom of Italy across three crucial centuries. The research reconstructs political events associated with every identifiable member of the kinship, as well as inquiring into their patrimony and their networks of relationships and patronage. Finally, it examines the distinctive characteristics of the group to gain a clearer picture of the nature of their power, their memory strategies and the shared perceptions and self-awareness of group members.
