Clean, unmarked pages. xiv, 514 p., genealogical tables, 23 cm. *Autographed by author.* "Costa Gomes aims to show how the medieval Portuguese court was organized, who comprised its permanent and transient members, and what ties bound nobles to the ruler. Rather than seeing the court exclusively in terms of its bureaucratic responsibilities and the rise of central state authority, Costa Gomes shows us a personal and a functional network. The private life of the court (what historians have been inclined to dismiss as 'boudoir history') must be considered in conjunction with public administration. Noble personnel served the king by reason of family status, personal accomplishment, and administrative responsibility; the conventional distinction between retrograde aristocracy and progressive administrative kingship is a distortion of the actual form of late medieval government. The Portuguese nobility and the king were intertwined, 'mutually engendered' in the author's words, not opposed." - Paul Freedman. Signed.
