Abstract

[This study examines the marriage patterns of aristocratic British women in the period from 1485 to 2000, demonstrating that these patterns remained remarkably stable. The underlying assertion at work in this project is that the marriage patterns of noble women are a good suggestion of the conception of rank identity held by aristocratic British families. The constancy in the marital behavior of the women indicates that the concept of rank identity also remained remarkably stable for the British nobility.]
