Using A Comparative Perspective, This Volume Studies The Court As A Crucial Center Of Government And Politics, As Well As The Dominant Focus For The Ruling Elites. The Essays Explore How The Early Modern Court Gradually Developed From The Medieval Royal Household To Its Very Different Form In The Sixteenth And Seventeenth Centuries. Comparing England, Germany, France, Spain As Well As The Netherlands And Italy, The Editors Find That Several Common Themes Emerge: The Problem Of Integrating A Number Of Often Vastly Different Provinces And Principalities Through The Attraction Of A Court; The Capital Citys Function As The Basis Of The Court And As Its Rival; The Role Of The Court During The Great Religious Conflicts Of The Sixteenth And Seventeenth Centuries; And The Court As An Instrument For Domesticating The Nobility And A Stronghold Of Aristocratic Influence.
