This is a study of the ideology of monarchy in late medieval
Europe. In the fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries, European
monarchies faced a series of crises and conflicts, which gave rise
to intense debate as to the nature and authority of monarchy in its
various forms. From such debates and polemics emerged many of the
ideas that were to sustain the later confrontation between
"absolutism" and "constitutionalism." Burns examines the ideas
generated by various "crisis of monarchy" in France, England, the
Spanish kingdoms, and what still claimed to be the "universal"
monarchies of Empire and Papacy. This is a lucid and stimulating
exploration of a major and previously neglected topic in the
history of political thought by one of its leading historians.
