The article is based on a corpus of documents concerning two societies of tournament (the Unicorn and the Bear) in Franconia (Upper Germany) at the end of the 15th century, two of which (the statutes of both societies) are newly edited here. The Unicorn society was thought as a maritally integrated group, just as the nobility (adel) itself was said to be. Conversely, the Bear society was considered a union of lineages (geschlecht), both societies being furthermore thought each one as a form of “closeness” (freundschaft) as well, which belonged partly to the field of parenthood. Therefore, this case study allows us to observe how the double structure of medieval parenthood (consanguinity vs. affinity on one side, carnal vs. spiritual parenthood on the other side, the second being then more important than the first) is mobilized to produce two kinds of separation: the more visible, but less important, between both societies, and the more important, between aristocrats and their dependants, that disappears behind the creation of euphemized forms of aristocratic cohesion
