8.6 Cohort Three: The Umayyad caliphs and their sons

This final cohort consists of the child-bearing marriages of those men that made it to the political summit of Islamic society during the Umayyad period. The inclusion of the sons of caliphs as well as the caliphs themselves is in part an attempt to equalise the size of this cohort with the other two, but equally importantly it reflects the fact that relatives would have had a great deal of power over the marriage choices of their children.18

This cohort presents two primary complications. First, it spans four generations rather than one, so each marriage will have to be identified accordingly. The second complication is that of concubinage. Children produced by concubines rarely appeared in the previous two cohorts, but in this group over 40 % of the recorded children are produced by slave women. This requires a more detailed discussion that will appear in Chapter Ten.
