Produktinformationen "The Foundations of the Capetians"
In the year 987, Hugh Capet ascended to the throne of France, marking the dawn of the Capetian Dynasty and a pivotal turning point in medieval history. But how did a modest duke from the Île-de-France transform a fragmented realm into the foundation of one of Europe’s most enduring royal dynasties? In The Foundations of the Capetians: Hugh Capet and the Art of Power Consolidation, Dominique Chambord delves into the intricate web of alliances, feudal negotiations, and ecclesiastical partnerships that allowed the Capetians to rise above powerful nobles and rival claimants. Drawing on rich historical sources, Chambord explores how Hugh Capet’s strategic foresight and political acumen laid the groundwork for a monarchy that would shape the destiny of France for centuries. From the complex relationship between church and crown to the evolving notion of divine kingship, this book unveils the untold strategies behind the Capetian success. Perfect for history enthusiasts and scholars alike, it offers fresh insights into the challenges of medieval governance and the enduring legacy of the Capetians. Step into the fascinating world of 10th-century France and discover how a single king’s vision became the bedrock of a dynasty that defined a nation.
