How the kingly image is created and presented and how the ruler performs his or her function as the source of justice are among the topics addressed in this volume, which also covers the role of queens in maintaining dynastic succession yet being the target of tales of adultery. This volume is of particular interest in bringing together studies of kingly power from Cyrus the Great and Alexander in the ancient world to Shah Abbas in the seventeenth century, and covering the European Middle Ages as well as Iran and the Muslim world. 410 0$aRulers & Elites$v2. 606 $aKings and rulers$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aKings and rulers, Ancient 606 $aKings and rulers, Medieval 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aKings and rulers$xHistory 615 0$aKings and rulers, Ancient. 615 0$aKings and rulers, Medieval. 676 $a321.609 701 $aMitchell$b Lynette G$g(Lynette Gail),$f1966-$0610871 701 $aMelville$b C.
