It demonstrates that religious conflict led to the development of distinctly confessional court cultures among the main Wittelsbach courts. Likewise, it illuminates how these confessional court cultures contributed significantly to the splintering of Renaissance humanism along religious lines in this era. Concomitantly, it sheds new light on the impact of late medieval dynastic competition on shaping the early modern Wittelsbach courts as well as the important role of Wittelsbach women in the creation and continuation of dynastic piety in their roles as wives, mothers, and patronesses of the arts.Studies in medieval and Reformation traditions ;v. 150.Royal housesGermanyHistoryChurch and stateGermanyHistoryReformationGermanyBavaria (Germany)Court and courtiersHistoryPalatinate (Germany)Court and courtiersHistoryBavaria (Germany)Religious life and customsPalatinate (Germany)Religious life and customsHoly Roman EmpireHistoryFerdinand I, 1556-1564Holy Roman EmpireHistoryFerdinand II, 1619-1637Electronic books.Royal housesHistory.Church and stateHistory.Reformation943/.303Thomas Andrew L129741MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910459165403321A house divided2285973UNINA
