In premodernity, genealogy was of high societal importance, which is why genealogical knowledge was a central resource in struggles for rank and office. Numerous actors thus attempted to gain this knowledge and to present or reject it. This volume examines how contemporaries approached genealogical knowledge, and inquires into its construction, presentation, and reception.
