The conference volume Frictions and Failures - Cultural Encounters in Crisis focuses on those dynastic marriages which ran into difficulties of various kinds, and examines a wide range of cases in order to determine what caused these problems. Conflict situations could easily arise from the queen consort?s presence at her new court. These conflicts might be religious (consorts were often of a different faith from that of their husband and new country), personal (rivalries with mistresses or favorites), diplomatic, or political. The case studies elucidate what these frictions tell us a) about the specific context in which they occurred, and b) about the problems, limitations and challenges of cultural transfer in general. The volume also considers (in a broader sense) whether ?success? and ?failure? are adequate and helpful terms in assessing the impact of the queen?s consort. The geographical range of the territories discussed covers not only West and Central Europe but extends to Hungary, Lithuania, Muscovy, and Russia. This is particularly valuable as it helps to take orthodox consorts into consideration, as well as the elective monarchy of Poland, in which the role of the consort is, by definition, different from that of a consort in a system of dynastic succession

In Mulieres suadentes - Persuasive Women , Martin Homza scrutinises the genesis of ruler ideology among the most prominent East Central and Eastern European dynasties from the early and later Middle Ages. At the center of attention are the Přemyslids, the Piasts, the Rurikids, and the Árpáds, but also the main dynasties of the Balkans, namely the Trpimirović and the Nemanjić dynasties, as well as the House of Bogdan, and the Moldova dynasty of the Muṣatins. Unlike previous work, which has focused on narrative sources of male ruler hagiography, Homza studies texts concerning female royal figures. More broadly, this book also attempts to bridge the artificial gap between West and East in Europe.

La nature et la fonction de la royauté dans l'Etat sont des questions qui traversent tous les grands débats de société en Angleterre, Le présent volume étudie les représentations de la royauté anglaise, de la Renaissance à la fin-du XVIIe siècle. Shakespeare place la crise de la royauté au cœur de ses deux tétralogies historiques qui brossent une vaste fresque de l'histoire nationale. À récrire l'histoire pour la rendre plus spectaculaire encore, il donne au drame de la déposition du roi une dimension personnelle, religieuse et politique. Il dépeint la constitution d'une identité nationale acquise au prix de la sueur, du sang et des larmes. Le jugement, la condamnation et l'exécution du roi Charles Ier signent la fin de la vision élisabéthaine du monde. La royauté cesse de faire question. Elle n'est plus affaire de croyance mais de convenance. Les rois qui règneront désormais gouverneront de moins en moins.
