Question from Jessa - Family politics in early modern Europe

Can anyone recommend any good sources for learning more about family politics / the way the family functioned in private vs. public in early modern Europe? Although I am mainly interested in English families, those from other countries would be useful as well (maybe French and Italian?). Thank you!

You may be interested in my doctoral thesis/dissertation which was on kinship networks and politics. It focused primarily on public politics not internal family politics.

You can download the pdf from the University of Nottingham eTheses site.
