Building on a unique combination of unexplored Indian texts and Dutch archival records, this research offers a captivating new analysis of political culture, power relations, and dynastic developments. In great detail, this monograph provides both new facts and fresh insights that contest existing scholarship. By highlighting their competitive, fluid, and dynamic nature, it undermines the historiography viewing these courts as harmonic, hierarchic, and static. Far from being remote, ritualised figures, we find kings and Brahmins contesting with other courtiers for power. At the same time, by stressing continuities with the past, this study questions recent scholarship that perceives a fundamentally new form of Nayaka kingship. Thus, this research has important repercussions for the way we perceive both these kingdoms and their ‘medieval’ precursors.Colonial and global history through Dutch sourcesAsian historybicsscPolitics & governmentbicsscIndiabicsscIndia, SouthCourt and courtiersHistoryIndia, SouthKings and rulersIndia, SouthHistoryIndia, SouthPolitics and governmentIndiaHistory1526-1765South Asia, India, kingship, courts, modern history, diplomacy, political historyAsian historyPolitics & governmentIndia954/.8025Bes Lennart1264585MdBmJHUPMdBmJHUPBOOK9910547690603321The Heirs of Vijayanagara2965443UNINA
