Each theme has four chapters that give the student an overview of key concepts supported by rich examples taken from monarchies across Europe, both in the text and in the Spotlight and Source Studies. The textbook offers an examination of areas which are frequently overlooked, such as the Balkan region, the Scandinavian kingdoms, and the Crusader States in the Latin East. In addition, a prologue, written by Rutger Kramer, discusses the legacy of the Carolingians on medieval rulership, and an epilogue places the monarchies of medieval Europe in context with their global counterparts. Further reading suggestions at the end of each chapter will help students develop their knowledge of medieval monarchy and the history of rulers and realms of the period.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eExploring Monarchy in Medieval Europe, 1000–1500 \u003c\/i\u003eis a foundational text for courses on medieval monarchy as well as a useful supplementary text for students of medieval European history.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56672948879704,"sku":"9781032418186","price":192.2,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781032418186_46765607-c2a1-4c93-b34f-396c3d8c1715.jpg?v=1780440324","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/exploring-monarchy-in-medieval-europe-1000-1500","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
