Copertina di Mark Konnert: Kings and Their Sons in Early Modern Europe (ePUB)

Some of history’s greatest dramas have unfolded in the stories of kings and their sons in early modern Europe; and their conflicts presaged in some ways today’s tensions in family-run businesses. In several notorious cases, the kings despised their sons to the point of committing murder, thus killing their own heirs. Prof. Konnert shows that these tragic dramas actually represent an extreme of the normal state of affairs rather than unusual occurrences. They are different in degree, not kind. This book is the first to look at these episodes in a systematic and comparative fashion. The stories are moving in themselves, but viewed in their historical context, they illuminate aspects of a past society which has faded from view in the 21st century.
