Working from the premise that women’s genealogies take as many forms as the political, historical, and ideological interests of those who wrote, illustrated, or patronized them, this concluding chapter outlines some characteristics of such genealogies and new areas of investigation. Genealogies that construct and convey women’s political and spiritual claims frequently accommodate and even emphasize geographical change, disruptions in succession, and the material nature of textuality. Recognizing the political importance and prevalence of matrilineages in medieval texts in turn offers a broader and more nuanced understanding of medieval concepts of maternity and women’s roles as childbearers.
