Recenzii
'In this accessible, concise yet wide-ranging and detailed survey of the many branches of the French comital house of Brienne, Guy Perry breathes new life into dynastic history.' Christopher Tyerman, University of Oxford
'What we have here is family history with a difference - a history of startling diversity that is managed with great skill.' Peter Edbury, Cardiff University
' … a fascinating study of an aristocratic family's evolution over four centuries ... Engagingly written, with well-chosen anecdotes and shrewd observations, The Briennes will be required reading for anyone interested in how ambitious aristocrats manoeuvred … through the fraught political environments of their times.' Theodore Evergates, author of The Aristocracy in the County of Champagne, 1100–1300
'A lucid and insightful analysis of one of the most dynamic clans of the medieval age … an authoritative marker in our understanding of dynastic power politics in Latin Christendom.' Jonathan Phillips, Royal Holloway, University of London
'This volume is a detailed survey of the history of a successful French aristocratic family in the time of the Crusades. … Perry situates the Briennes and their skillful use of diplomacy, marriage, money, and war within the rise of medieval society's move toward international expansion between 950 and 1350. The rise of national monarchies in the late medieval period, in particular the Hundred Years' War, significantly weakened the family's position and virtually ended its existence. This complete study of the rise, glory, and fall of the many branches of the Briennes stands as the definitive study of the family for the foreseeable future. The maps and detailed genealogies enhance the book's scholarly apparatus, together with extensive documentation and a thorough bibliography. This authoritative text belongs on the shelf of any research library with strong medieval and crusade collections. Highly recommended.' G. G. Guzman, Choice
'… provides an excellent basis for further work to be carried out on this intriguing and adventurous dynasty.' Simon John, Speculum
