The 12 articles reprinted here represent key studies in the process by which the "stirpes Tortulfi" created a great dynasty and built a successful state in Francia Occidentalis. The early history of the Agenvin dynasty building is lightly sketched, while showing how a family passes first into the aristocracy and then into the nobility. Studies 3 to 11 cover the process of state-building; studies 9 and 11 cover economic matters; and diplomatic, military, religious and intellectual techniques are explored in studies 5, 7, 9 and 10.
