Prince, Pen, and Sword offers a synoptic interpretation of rulers and elites in Eurasia from the fourteenth to the eighteenth century. Four core chapters zoom in on the tensions and connections at court, on the nexus between rulers and religious authority, on the status, function, and self-perceptions of military and administrative elites respectively. Two additional concise chapters provide a focused analysis of the construction of specific dynasties (the Golden Horde and the Habsburgs) and narratives of kingship found in fiction throughout Eurasia. The contributors and editors, authorities in their fields, systematically bring together specialised literature on numerous Eurasian kingdoms and empires. This book is a careful and thought-provoking experiment in the global, comparative and connected history of rulers and elites.

In anthropology, as much as in the current popular imagination, kings remain figures of fascination and intrigue. As the cliché goes, kings continue to die spectacular deaths only to remain subjects of vitality and long life. This collection of essays by a teacher and his student two of the world's most distinguished anthropologists explores what kingship actually is, historically and anthropologically. The divine, the stranger, the numinous, the bestial the implications for understanding kings and their sacred office are not limited to questions of sovereignty, but issues ranging from temporality and alterity to piracy and utopia; indeed, the authors argue that kingship offers us a unique window into the fundamental dilemmas concerning the very nature of power, meaning, and the human condition. With the wit and sharp analysis characteristic of these two thinkers, this volume opens up new avenues for how an anthropological study of kingship might proceed in the 21st century.

Auscultant les entourages princiers des deux derniers siècles du Moyen Âge sous l’angle particulier des effectifs qui les composent, cet ouvrage s’attache à explorer la question de la perception numérique que les princes et leurs contemporains avaient du nombre de leurs serviteurs et curiaux. Les études ici réunies réfléchissent aux discours tenus sur l’ampleur des Cours et Hôtels, ainsi qu’aux raisons de l’enrôlement à leur service d’un nombre d’hommes et de femmes plus ou moins conséquent et fluctuant. Ce faisant, elles analysent à la fois les besoins administratifs, politiques, matériels, mais aussi les motivations symboliques ou idéologiques qui déterminent les variations de la taille des entourages princiers, pour mieux questionner l’adaptation de leurs effectifs au principe de réalité comme à l’idéal de gouvernement. À travers le nombre des hommes, ce volume prête donc une attention particulière aux représentations de la grandeur, aux ambitions des princes et à leur positionnement par ce biais les uns par rapport aux autres. ¿Cuántos sirvientes, fieles o consejeros componían el séquito de los príncipes en los siglos XIV y XV? ¿Qué percepción tenían estos soberanos de la cantidad necesaria de sirvientes y miembros de su curia y cómo, para dar muestra de su poder, la adecuaban, conforme a un principio de realidad o a un ideal de gobierno? Mediante un estudio de las motivaciones simbólicas o ideológicas que determinan las variaciones en el tamaño de las Casas y Cortes, trataremos de delimitar las ambiciones de los príncipes y las representaciones de la grandeur.

In Narratives of Kingship in Eurasian Empires, 1300-1800 Richard van Leeuwen analyses representations and constructions of the idea of kingship in fictional texts of various genres, especially belonging to the intermediate layer between popular and official literature. The analysis shows how ideologies of power are embedded in the literary and cultural imagination of societies, their cultural values and conceptualizations of authority. By referring to examples from various empires (Chinese, Indian, Persian, Arabic, Turkish, European) the parallels between literary traditions are laid bare, revealing remarkable common concerns. The process of interaction and transmission are highlighted to illustrate how literature served as a repository for ideological and cultural values transforming power into authority in various imperial environments.

Il vaudrait mieux ne pas parier d’une part que, pour l’ensemble des chercheurs en sciences humaines, la Protohistoire soit autre chose qu’une période “analphabète” et, d’autre part, que l’étude de l’émergence de l’État ne soit pas du seul ressort des historiens de l’époque moderne : on aurait toutes les chances de perdre. Sans doute, en prenant un peu de recul, et à comparer entre elles les diverses traditions académiques, obtiendrait-on sur ce sujet des résultats, disons, contrastés. Cela met d’autant plus en relief le soutien que nous a apporté l’École française de Rome –en la personne de son Directeur d’alors, Monsieur Claude Nicolet, de Madame Catherine Virlouvet et Monsieur Maurice Lenoir, à qui Mme Virlouvet a succédé au poste de Directeur des Études anciennes-dans l’organisation matérielle de la table ronde dont ce volume constitue la publication : les préoccupations qui sont les nôtres ont trouvé un écho favorable chez des chercheurs impliqués dans des recherches historiques et archéologiques sur une période –l’époque romaine –connaissant de tout autres “princes” et un tout autre “État”.

From the days of the emperor Augustus (27 B.C.-A.D. 14) the emperor and his court had a quintessential position within the Roman Empire. It is therefore clear that when the Impact of the Roman Empire is analysed, the impact of the emperor and those surrounding him is a central issue. The study of the representation and perception of Roman imperial power is a multifaceted area of research, which greatly helps our understanding of Roman society. In its successive parts this volume focuses on 1. The representation and perception of Roman imperial power through particular media: literary texts, inscriptions, coins, monuments, ornaments, and insignia, but also nicknames and death-bed scenes. 2. The representation and perception of Roman imperial power in the city of Rome and the various provinces. 3. The representation of power by individual emperors.

Contested Monarchy reappraises the wide-ranging and lasting transformation of the Roman monarchy between the Principate and Late Antiquity. The book takes as its focus the century from Diocletian to Theodosius I (284-395), a period during which the stability of monarchical rule depended heavily on the emperor''s mobility, on collegial or dynastic rule, and on the military resolution of internal political crises. At the same time, profound religious changes modified the premises of political interaction and symbolic communication between the emperor and his subjects, and administrative and mili

In den Wirren der Revolution von 1848 hat der wankende preußische König Friedrich Wilhelm IV. Halt an einem Menschen gefunden, der ihn über sieben Jahre in allen innen- und außenpolitischen Fragen beriet und lenkte: Carl Wilhelm Saegert, Leiter der Taubstummenanstalt in Berlin und seit 1853 Inspektor des preußischen Taubstummenwesens. Als sich die Verhältnisse in Berlin nach der Revolution konsolidierten, war es für Saegert unmöglich, wegen seiner fehlenden Ausbildung und seiner bürgerlichen Herkunft in der Führungshierarchie anerkannt zu werden. Der König verließ sich aber weiterhin nahezu blindlings auf ihn, und Saegert musste die undankbare Rolle des geheimen Beraters spielen, der nur durch die Bediententür Zugang zum König fand. Die Edition bringt eine Auswahl der politisch relevanten Teile der Korrespondenz für die Jahre 1848 bis 1856. Die Korrespondenz wird ergänzt durch das ungekürzte Tagebuch Saegerts für die Revolutionsmonate März bis November 1848.

Le concept de théocratie appartient à ce qu'on appelle, de manière plus générale, le théologico-politique. La théocratie est le thème, par excellence, du discours théologique visant à légitimer le pouvoir politique. C'est une figure et un fondement idéologique du discours théologico-politique. L'emploi de ce terme en histoire ancienne ne va pas de soi, contrairement à l'usage qu'en font les médiévistes. Il paraît pourtant justifié à plusieurs titres. Tout d'abord, parce que la théocratie médiévale repose sur des legs de l'Antiquité, notamment l'affirmation de Paul qu'« il n'y a d'autorité que par Dieu » (Rm 13,1). Mais surtout, parce que c'est un historien antique, Flavius Josèphe, qui forgea ce terme et l'utilisa pour la première fois (Contre Apion 2, 165). Il entendait ainsi expliquer à ses lecteurs que les monarques juifs s'appuyaient sur la religion et la légitimité qu'elle était censée offrir au détenteur du pouvoir, en vertu d'une sorte de droit divin de la monarchie. Ainsi, monothéisme et théocratie sont étroitement liés : la croyance en un dieu unique et éternel renforce l'idée théocratique. Mais la théocratie n'est-elle propre qu'aux monothéismes juif et chrétien ? Le terme forgé par Flavius Josèphe ne pourrait-il aussi s'appliquer aux régimes politiques de peuples polythéistes ? Cet ouvrage se propose d'étudier en diachronie l'émergence de la notion de théocratie dans l'Orient ancien et hellénistique, puis dans l'empire romain, avec des ouvertures dans la très longue durée pour en rechercher les origines dans les modèles mésopotamiens les plus anciens et en évaluer l'héritage dans la chrétienté médiévale.
