| book description |

Polygyny, in Europe? The grand narrative of Western history is the development of monogamous marriage, culminating in the central Middle Ages. Other kinds of relationships have often, perhaps too lightly, been dismissed as â€˜just lustâ€™. In this book, Jan RÃ¼diger investigates the plurality of man-woman relationships in medieval Scandinavia and analyses the social and political â€˜usesâ€™ of elite polygyny. By way of comparison the findings from the North are then applied to England, France, and the Iberian Peninsula, in order to propose a new overall image of elite polygyny, including marriage, in the medieval West. See inside the book.
