Four core chapters zoom in on the tensions and connections at court, on the nexus between rulers and religious authority, on the status, function, and self-perceptions of military and administrative elites respectively. Two additional concise chapters provide a focused analysis of the construction of specific dynasties (the Golden Horde and the Habsburgs) and narratives of kingship found in fiction throughout Eurasia. The contributors and editors, authorities in their fields, systematically bring together specialised literature on numerous Eurasian kingdoms and empires. This book is a careful and thought-provoking experiment in the global, comparative and connected history of rulers and elites. 410 0$aRulers & Elites$v15. 606 $aKings and rulers$2fast 607 $aEurasia$xKings and rulers 607 $aEurasia$2fast 608 $aElectronic books. 615 7$aKings and rulers. 676 $a909 701 $aBerkel$b Maaike van$0944912 701 $aDuindam$b Jeroen Frans Jozef$f1962-$0944913 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910309742303321 996 $aPrince, pen, and sword$92133265 997 $aUNINA
