Genealogy, Volume 6, Issue 2

June 2022 - 34 articles

Cover Story: In the 1200s to 1600s, visual diagrams in law books helped teach the church rules of incest as well as concepts of inheritance. Legal manuals used riddles to test if the reader could calculate whether a marriage should be deemed incest because of a close relationship by blood (consanguinity) or marriage (affinity). The riddles moved from legal textbooks to paintings and cheap prints. The riddle painting on the cover of Genealogy vol. 6 was ‘devoted’ to William Cecil when he was Elizabeth I’s principal secretary, before he became Lord Burghley in 1571. To solve the riddle the viewer needed to determine how the men in the painting were related to the young woman. The kinship riddles paintings in England and the Low Countries had a common root before branching into separate traditions with different solutions to the puzzles. View this paper
