France and England are often seen as monarchies standing at opposite ends of the spectrum of seventeenth-century European political culture. On the one hand the Bourbon monarchy took the high road to absolutism, while on the other the Stuarts never quite recovered from the diminution of their royal authority following the regicide of Charles I in 1649. However, both monarchies shared a common medieval heritage of sacral kingship, and their histories remained deeply entangled throughout the century. This study focuses on the interaction between ideas of monarchy and images of power in the two countries between the execution of Mary Queen of Scots and the Glorious Revolution. It demonstrates that even in periods when politics were seemingly secularized, as in France at the end of the Wars of Religion, and in latter seventeenth- century England, the appeal to religious images and values still lent legitimacy to royal authority by emphasizing the sacral aura or providential role which church and religion conferred on monarchs.

Politische Patronage findet sich in nahezu allen Gesellschaften. Patronage ist dabei nicht nur ein politisches Instrument, sondern eine Kulturform mit eigenen Codes und Werten. Politische Bedeutung entfaltet Patronage vor allem bei der Integration von Gesellschaften und politischen Systemen. Gleichwohl steht sie stets unter kritischer Beobachtung und bedarf der Legitimation. Formuliert wird die Kritik an der Patronage dabei häufig als Korruptionskritik. Integration, Legitimation, Korruption – diese drei miteinander verflochtenen Dimensionen der Patronage werden an Beispielen von der Frühneuzeit bis ins frühe 20. Jahrhundert behandelt. Der international ausgerichtete Band stellt damit auch die sich wandelnden Bedingungen für Patronage zwischen vormodernen und modernen Gesellschaften dar.Political patronage is an almost universal phenomenon. It is not just a tool which actors use to achieve certain objectives but a way of life with its own culture, its own values and codes. Patronage is of importance in particular as a means to integrate societies and give coherence to political systems. Nevertheless, it is always subject to criticism – which tends to argue that patronage amounts to corruption – and needs to be legitimized. Integration, legitimation and corruption, these are the three dimensions of patronage which the authors address in looking at examples from the early modern period to the early 20th century. This volume wants to make a contribution to a comparative history of patronage in an international perspective on the transition from pre-modern to modern societies.
