What is Elite Byzantine Kinship, ca. 950-1204: Blood, Reputation, and the Genos (Beyond Medieval Europe) about?

By the end of the twelfth century, the Byzantine ‹i›genos ‹/I› was a politically effective social group based upon ties of consanguineous kinship, but, importantly, it was also a cultural construct, an idea that held very real power, yet defies easy categorization. This study explores the role and function of the Byzantine aristocratic family group, or ‹i›genos‹/i›, as a distinct social entity, particularly its political and cultural role, as it appears in a variety of sources in the tenth through twelfth centuries
