Description

Explore the dynamics of influence in medieval and early modern courts with "The Key to Power?: The Culture of Access in Princely Courts, 1400-1750." This scholarly volume from Brill examines how proximity to a monarch served as a vital asset in the struggle for political control. Through ten chapters of new research, the book analyzes European and Asian cases to understand how access to rulers was articulated, regulated, and performed. By looking at the complexity of hierarchies, ceremonial rites, and physical spaces, this work addresses remaining questions about the mechanisms of access and their direct impact on politics. It is an essential resource for historians and scholars studying pre-modern dynasties and the structures of elite power.
