Theodore Evergates provides the first systematic analysis of the aristocracy in the county of Champagne under the independent counts. He argues that three factors-the rise of the comital state, fiefholding, and the conjugal family-were critical to shaping a loose assortment of baronial and knightly families into an aristocracy with shared customs, institutions, and identity. Evergates mines the rich, varied, and in some respects unique collection of source materials from Champagne to provide a dynamic picture of a medieval aristocracy and its evolving symbiotic relationship with the counts.Count Henry the Liberal (1152-81) began the process of transforming a quasi-independent baronage accustomed to collegial governance into an elite of landholding families subordinate to the count and his officials. By the time Countess Jeanne married the future King Philip IV of France in 1284, the fiefholding families of Champagne had become a distinct provincial nobility. Throughout, it was the conjugal community, rather than primogeniture or patrilineage, that remained the core familial institution determining the customs regarding community property, dowry, dower, and partible inheritance. Those customs guaranteed that every lineage would survive, but frequently through a younger son or daughter. The life courses of women and men, influenced not only by social norms but also by individual choice and circumstance, were equally unpredictable. Evergates concludes that imposed models of "the aristocratic family" fail to capture the diversity of individual lives and lineages within one of the more vibrant principalities of medieval France.

"Noblesse oblige." La maxime du duc Pierre-Marc-Gaston de Lévis (1764-1830) est passée dans le langage courant pour évoquer les obligations morales qui pèsent sur les détenteurs d'un nom, et plus généralement pour inviter tous les prétendants à la respectabilité à adopter un comportement conforme à la dignité qu'ils revendiquent. L'idée n'était pas nouvelle. En 1665, dans son Dom Juan, Molière plaçait déjà dans la bouche de Dom Louis une tirade véhémente devenue fameuse : "Non, non, la naissance n'est rien où la vertu n'est pas." Si la noblesse reposait sur la vertu, quelle définition donnait-on à cette qualité ? S'agissait-il du courage guerrier, de l'exemplarité morale ou de l'appartenance au monde des gens de bien ? Vivre de ses rentes ne suffisait plus pour être reconnu comme noble dans une société où, à partir du XVIIe siècle, le roi s'imposa comme le maître des identités. Sous une unité de façade, quelles failles économiques, culturelles et idéologiques traversaient la noblesse à l'époque moderne ? À quelles obligations, surtout, se sentait-elle tenue, et quelles formes prenaient les engagements politiques, religieux et partisans qui l'animaient ? Quel était le sens des termes "vocation" ou "service" pour les seigneurs et les dames de l'Ancien Régime ? C'est à ces questions, et à quelques autres, que ce volume propose des éléments de réponse, non par une approche systématique de la noblesse en tant qu'ordre ou catégorie sociale illusoire, mais à travers une analyse fondée sur l'examen de traces, de textes et d'archives, qui permettent de brosser un panorama de la société des princes et des princesses, des seigneurs et des capitaines, des nobles d'épée et des courtisans, entre le temps de la Renaissance et l'aube du XIXe siècle
