In the medieval period, the monarch was seen as the embodiment of the community of his kingdom, the body politic. And while we've long since shed that view, it nonetheless continues to influence our understanding of contemporary politics. This book offers thirteen case studies from premodern and contemporary Europe that demonstrate the process through which political corporations-bodies politic-were and continue to be constructed and challenged. Drawing on history, archaeology, literary criticism, and art history, the contributors survey a wide geographical and chronological spectrum to offer a panoramic view of these dynamic political entities.

Situated in northern Syria, on the eastern-most frontier of Latin Christendom, the principality of Antioch was a medieval polity bordered by a host of rival powers, including the Byzantine Empire, theArmenian Christians of Cilicia, the rulers of the neighbouring Islamic world and even the other crusader states, the kingdom of Jerusalem and the counties of Edessa and Tripoli. Coupled with the numerous Christian, Muslim and Jewish communities who populated the region, Antioch's Frankish settlers - initially installed into power by the military successes of the First Crusade - thus faced numerous challenges to their survival.
This book examines how the ruling elites of the principality sought to manage these competing interests in order to maintain Antioch's existence during the troubled twelfth century, particularly following the death of Prince Bohemond II in 1130. His demise helped to spark renewed interest from Byzantium and the kingdom of Jerusalem, and came at a time of both Islamic resurgence under the Zengids of Aleppo and Mosul, as well as Armenian power growth under the Rupenids. An examination of Antioch's diplomatic and military endeavours, its internal power structures and its interaction with indigenous peoples can therefore help to reveal a great deal about how medieval Latins adapted to the demands of their frontiers.

This book studies the Counsel for Kings as an illuminating commentary on the milieu and polity in which it was written and as a composition that seeks to persuade by drawing allusions between the diverse repertoire of wisdom literature available to the author and his audience and the circumstances of the author's time and place.

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.
