Medieval nobility wasn't a fixed caste but a shifting category negotiated through blood, wealth, behavior, and royal favor, and this graduate seminar treats it as a problem to be unpacked rather than a backdrop to political history. You'll work through Crouch and a wider bibliography across roughly a millennium, deliver two presentations, and produce an original research paper that engages seriously with the secondary literature. It pairs naturally with medieval political and ecclesiastical history courses and gives anyone heading toward premodern research the conceptual vocabulary to ask sharper questions about elites, power, and social reproduction.
