Transcending individual cases, this collection presents the first comparative overview of the phenomenon of court factionalism. Through original research and a critical approach, González Cuerva and Koller explore in depth the emergence, coexistence and image of court factions. This contribution to the debate on the nature of early modern policy-making is enriched with a European-wide focus, which allows comparison of the circumstantial and micropolitical factors accounting for the spread of factions and the conditions in which they functioned. It also allows partisan sources to be examined with the necessary caution. Contributors are Stefano Andretta, Janet Dickinson, Luc Duerloo, Pavel Marek, José Martínez Millán, Toby Osborne, David Potter, Jonathan Spangler, Evrim Türkçelik, and Maria Antonietta Visceglia. 410 0$aRulers & elites ;$vVolume 12. 607 $aEurope$xCourt and courtiers$xHistory$y16th century 607 $aEurope$xCourt and courtiers$xHistory$y17th century 607 $aEurope$xPolitics and government$y1517-1648 608 $aElectronic books. 676 $a940 702 $aCuerva$b Ruben Gonzalez 702 $aKoller$b Alexander 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910511788503321 996 $aA Europe of courts, a Europe of factions$92552059 997 $aUNINA
