The role of kings, the source of their authority and the nature of the practical restraints on their power have exercised political and religious philosophers, historians, competing candidates for rule and subject populations from the time of the earliest documented human societies. How the kingly image is created and presented and how the ruler performs his or her function as the source of justice are among the topics addressed in this volume, which also covers the role of queens in maintaining dynastic succession yet being the target of tales of adultery. This volume is of particular interest in bringing together studies of kingly power from Cyrus the Great and Alexander in the ancient world to Shah Abbas in the seventeenth century, and covering the European Middle Ages as well as Iran and the Muslim world.

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.
