Particular attention is paid to symbolic acts such as festive coronations, liturgical praises, welcoming of rulers ( adventus regis ), ritualised settlement of disputes, and symbolic rites during encounters between rulers. The power and meaning of rituals were understandable to contemporary protagonists and to their chroniclers. These rituals therefore played an essential role in medieval political culture. The book concludes with an outline of ritual communication as a coherent system.East Central and Eastern Europe in the Middle Ages, 450-1450 ;39.Political customs and ritesHungaryHistoryTo 1500Communication in politicsHungaryHistoryTo 1500Symbolism in politicsHungaryHistoryTo 1500HungaryKings and rulersHistoryHungaryPolitics and governmentHungaryHistory896-1301Political customs and ritesHistoryCommunication in politicsHistorySymbolism in politicsHistory394/.40943909021Zupka Dušan1169247Sherwood JuliaSherwood PeterMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910798800803321Ritual and symbolic communication in medieval Hungary under the Árpád dynasty (1000-1301)3753303UNINA
