Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book analyzes the famed catastrophe of 9 January 1541 in which the Hradcany Palace in Prague was devoured by fire. The blaze claimed a wealth of royal regalia within the palace, but the author's focus is on the destruction of a specific part of the collection housed within: a series of precious silver portraits depicting the kings, dukes and emperors of Bohemia. The author has gathered and translated for posterity what few textual records managed to survive this great tragedy. Through his synthesis of these remnants with visual documentation from late-preserved copies, the author speculates on the content of the lost originals to offer us a glimpse into the splendor of the Bohemian crown and the grandeur of King Ferdinand I. This impressive study offers a fascinating glimpse into the lives of medieval Bohemian royalty and shines a light on the changing cultural attitudes toward both art and the representation of power.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the origins and evolution of the concept of heirship in medieval Central Europe and seeks to expand on what is currently known, particularly through close analysis of the Frankish Empire, during the reign of Charlemagne. The book argues that heirship was not a pre-ordained destiny for Carolingian rulers but rather a movable concept shaped by aristocratic initiative, royal patronage, and the melding of Roman and Germanic legal traditions. Offering a theoretically innovative and historically well-grounded exploration of heirship, this book is particularly relevant for those interested in the legal, social, and political structures of early medieval Europe. Its insights are essential reading for scholars, students, and anyone interested in early medieval history and law.
