1 Despite the efforts of Marc Bloch and Lucien Febvre in the pages of the Annales in 1936, it has only been since the war that the study of the nobility as a social group has come into its own in France. C. E. Labrousse launched a European-wide appeal for studies of social structure during the Old Regime at the International Congress of Historical Sciences at Rome in 1955.
