Very good point, Phillipp. But I have a feeling that with Medieval genealogy we ordinarily won't hear anything much about anybody who doesn't hold some high office (nobility, in other words). I doubt many of the individuals we read about in history books are anything other than nobility.

Even in early English history, we mostly only know the names of nobility and people who were very wealthy landowners, merchants, government officials, and that sort of thing. VIPs
