There were many surprising accessions in the early modern period,
including Mary I of England, Henry III of France, Anne Stuart, and
others, but this is the first book dedicated solely to evaluating
their lives and the repercussions of their reigns. By comparing a
variety of such unexpected heirs, this engaging history offers a
richer portrait of early modern monarchy. It shows that the need
for heirs and the acquisition and preparation of heirs had a
critical impact on sixteenth- and seventeenth-century culture and
politics, from the appropriation of culture to the influence of
language, to trade and political alliances. It also shows that
securing a dynasty relied on more than just political agreements
and giving birth to legitimate sons, examining how relationships
between women could and did forge alliances and dynastic
continuities.
