Boekbeoordeling

Meer over het boek

The study explores the intertwined histories of the Bourbon and Stuart monarchies in the seventeenth century, highlighting their shared medieval roots in sacral kingship. It examines how both monarchies, despite differing paths toward absolutism and authority, utilized religious imagery and values to legitimize royal power during significant political upheavals. The analysis spans from the execution of Mary Queen of Scots to the Glorious Revolution, illustrating that religious elements remained influential even during periods of political secularization in both France and England.
