First presented as papers at the conference "The Medieval Household" held at Penn State U. in March 2005, the nine essays of this volume offer the results of research into specific examples of medieval households that were found in north Atlantic lands, including Viking, French, Irish, Scot, and Anglo-Saxon. Individual topics include the nature of servitude as can be discerned from the 11th-century "Book of the Serfs", the long-standing feud of the rulers of the Kingdom of Man and the Isles, the early Stewarts of Scotland, and the family and household relationships under the Viking king Glúniairn of Dublin. Includes a lengthy bibliography of primary and secondary sources, but no index. ACMRS is the acronym of the Arizona Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies. Note that the title on the cover and spine is Familia and household in the medieval Atlantic world, not province, as stated on the title page.
