Abstract


Knowledge of the internal structure of medieval lineage makes the detailed observation of identification methods possible. It also measures its prominent role in their long term crystallization. Some of the most significant traits of the genealogical knowledge of medieval lineage based on the Galician case are exemplified in this article. Mainly: the importance of the different onomastic traditions in the organization and cohesion of the low medieval nobility's lineage, in the making of a genealogical record, or in its own affirmation towards society.
