Description
The Power of Kings: Monarchy and Religion in Europe, 15891715 by Paul Kléber Monod is a thought-provoking and meticulously researched historical study published by Yale University Press in 1999. This hardcover edition explores how European monarchs from the late 16th to early 18th century fused political authority with religious symbolism, shaping the way power was perceived by their subjects.
Monod provides a vivid narrative spanning across Europe, from Britain to Russia, analyzing how kings and queens were believed to heal the sick and mediate divine authority. These rulers, regarded as sacred figures, evolved over time to be perceived not only as political leaders but also as quasi-religious figures whose authority was reinforced through rituals, public image, and religious ideology.
