Moving away from the customary focus on the pageantry, this book focuses on how urban governments used these ceremonies to offer the ruler (or his representatives) petitions regarding their rights, liberties and customs. Drawing on extensive research, he shows that ceremonial entries lay at the heart of how the state functioned in later medieval and Renaissance France.Rulers & Elites7.Ceremonial entriesFranceHistoryTo 1500Ceremonial entriesFranceHistory16th centuryElite (Social sciences)FranceHistoryPower (Social sciences)FranceHistoryMunicipal governmentFranceHistoryCivil rightsFranceHistoryFrancePolitics and government1328-1589FranceHistoryHouse of Valois, 1328-1589FranceKings and rulersHistoryFranceSocial life and customs1328-1600Electronic books.Ceremonial entriesHistoryCeremonial entriesHistoryElite (Social sciences)History.Power (Social sciences)History.Municipal governmentHistory.Civil rightsHistory.944/.025Murphy Neil1980-975075NL-LeKBNL-LeKBBOOK9910220028703321Ceremonial entries, municipal liberties and the negotiation of power in Valois France, 1328-15892220237UNINA
