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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePrefatory Note \u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgements \u003cbr\u003eMaps and Tables \u003cbr\u003eAbbreviations \u003cbr\u003ePreface by Simon MacLean \u003cbr\u003eIntroduction \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Part I Kinship and Political Relations \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 1.
