Description

Explore the remarkable rise and dramatic fall of one of late medieval France's most powerful dynasties with this scholarly examination of the Counts of Laval. This work traces how the Laval family ascended to unrivalled prominence by the mid sixteenth century through their cultural influence, strategic patronage and religious authority, only to face catastrophic challenges from dynastic failure and religious upheaval. The book examines how pivotal family members' support for Protestantism during the Reformation, combined with succession crises, fundamentally destabilized the family's hard-won position and ultimately led to their financial and political ruin by century's end. A compelling account of how ambitious medieval nobility navigated the treacherous intersection of family ambition, religious transformation and political survival in Renaissance France.

Key Features

Routledge publication delivering in-depth historical analysis of the Counts of Laval's influence on fifteenth and sixteenth-century French culture and politics.

Examines how dynastic failure and the Reformation posed dual threats to the Laval family's unprecedented power and prominence during the Renaissance period.

Documents the family's strategic patronage networks and their decisive role in shaping late medieval European religious and cultural developments.

Traces the financial and political decline of the Laval dynasty from their height of unrivalled importance through to their ruin by the end of the sixteenth century.

Explores how Protestant allegiances among key family members intensified existing succession pressures and accelerated the family's loss of authority and wealth.
