'The diverse topics of the essays demonstrate the creative approaches being applied to questions of monarchy in premodern Europe. These essays collectively make the point that although perennial questions are still being asked, they are now being answered with the benefit of nontraditional sources (e.g., artwork, ritual, and ceremony) and interdisciplinary methodologies (e.g., gender studies, cultural anthropology, and social history). [...] [A]ll [the essays] are worthy of consideration, and several stand out for their original contribution.'James NausOakland UniversityThe Historian, 79:4 (2017)
