Noble Identity and Culture. Recent Historiography on the Nobility in the Medieval Low Countries III

Abstract

Abstract The medieval Low Countries are not usually associated with nobility and knighthood, but historical research in the past decades has proven that they should be. This series of essays gives a historiographical overview of the recent literature on the nobility in the medieval Low Countries and links it with major international debates on the subject. This part, the third of the three sections into which this survey is organised, discusses the fast‐growing and rich multi‐disciplinary literature on noble identity and culture. The study of the material, ideological, behavioural and performative aspects of noble status currently predominantly focuses on the princely court but needs to be extended to the nobility as a whole and further integrated with political and socio‐economic approaches.
