Contested Spaces of Nobility in Early Modern Europe (eBook, ePUB)

Redaktion: Romaniello, Matthew P.

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

European nobility faced a number of religious, political and military challenges. Many sought to increase their status, or maintain their privileges, by negotiating with various political and religious authorities, and exploiting opportunities in this era of upheaval. In examining the protective strategies nobles adopted in an age of state-building, reformation and expansion, this collection reveals the roles of the 'second order' and their ability to survive. Scholars across disciplinary and national boundaries offer exciting new perspectives on this central social group.
