Several studies have shown the importance of the mother in the survival and wellbeing of her children. However, none of them have analyzed the rural areas of the Iberian Peninsula. In this article we use the life courses of more than 10 thousand children born between 1750 and 1959 to understand the effects of being motherless on the survival, educative outputs, and wellbeing. To achieve this, we use descriptive statistics as well as Cox and OLS regression models. Our results confirm that the mother is one of the most important relative for the survival and wellbeing of her young children.

This article explores the changing landscape of consanguineous marriages among Germany's ar-Rashidiyya community, originally from Turkey's Mardin province. The study employs ethnographic methods to understand how younger members are questioning entrenched marital norms, influenced by factors like migration, education, familial conflicts, individualism, and health concerns. Challenging misconceptions linking these practices to ‘clan crime,’ the article delves into the nuanced relationship between cultural tradition and individual agency. It concludes that consanguineous marriages within the community are no longer rigid practices, but are becoming increasingly adaptable due to both internal community dynamics and wider societal influences.

Against the backdrop of colonial India, this study examines the Bezbaroa family, specifically focusing on the marriage of Lakshminath Bezbaroa, a prominent Assamese writer, to Prajnasundari Devi of the renowned Tagore family of Bengal. Their seemingly disparate backgrounds offer a unique vantage point to explore the complex interplay between tradition and modernity in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Delving into aspects like gender roles, domesticity, education, personal choice, and individual expression, the paper aims to illuminate a broader understanding of how the public–private divide might have been reshaped within the context of a colonially influenced Indian society.

This article explores the impact of mental illness on the relationship between middle-class fathers and sons in late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century England. Using sources that include autobiographies, oral histories, press reports of violence, and records of appeals against conscription, the article argues that shame was not the dominant reaction. Many mentally ill men lost masculine status and agency within the family, but both fathers and sons were much more likely to respond to illness with loving concern, attempts at negotiation and pacification, than to use their power over vulnerable relatives with attempts to confine and hide them from sight.

The father–son relationship between Charles the Bald and his eldest son Louis the Stammerer is generally understood as one of hostility and distrust. This article takes several episodes from the final decades of Charles the Bald's reign to question this, re-examining how royal Carolingian fathers and royal Carolingian sons could take steps to overcome previous conflicts and arguing that political ties within the royal family were more robust, and consequently of different significance for our understanding of Carolingian politics, than is usually understood.
秃头查理和他的长子路易(Louis the Stammerer)之间的父子关系通常被理解为敌对和不信任。本文从秃头查理统治的最后几十年中的几个事件出发,对这一观点提出质疑,重新审视了卡洛林王室的父亲和儿子是如何采取措施消除之前的冲突的,并认为王室内部的政治关系比通常理解的更加稳固,因此对我们理解卡洛林王朝政治的意义也有所不同。
