The Emergence of the Nobility in East Central Europe between the Eighth and Thirteenth Centuries explores the formation and evolution of medieval elites in the frontier and peripheral regions of the Frankish/East Frankish Empire and East Central Europe between the eighth and thirteenth centuries. It addresses the dynamics of elite emergence during a transformative era marked by the interaction of established centres and developing borderlands.

The Emergence of the Nobility in East Central Europe between the Eighth and Thirteenth Centuries explores the formation and evolution of medieval elites in the frontier and peripheral regions of the Frankish/East Frankish Empire and East Central Europe between the eighth and thirteenth centuries. It addresses the dynamics of elite emergence during a transformative era marked by the interaction of established centres and developing borderlands. By focusing on regions such as Saxony, Poland, the Baltic, Bavaria, Carinthia, the Czech lands, Great Moravia, Hungary, and Croatia, the book offers a geographically broad perspective on the mechanisms of power and social hierarchy in early and high medieval Europe.
This book presents the results of comparative research into how elite status was constructed and legitimised, investigating whether this occurred through centralised imposition or organic processes of alliance-building, gift exchange and negotiation. It draws on Pierre Bourdieu's Theory of Practice to analyse the economic, cultural, social and symbolic capital that defined elite status. The volume also considers the influences of indigenous development versus cultural transfer in shaping elite identities and practices. Each contribution offers a case study or regional focus, collectively illustrating both shared patterns and local specificities in elite transformation across centuries.
Targeted at scholars and students of medieval archaeology and history, this interdisciplinary work is equally relevant to researchers interested in social structures, cultural exchange and political power in premodern Europe. Its synthesis of theory, comparative methodology and empirical data makes it a valuable resource for both academic study and future research on elite formation in medieval frontier societies.
