“…Charles I was explicitly called 'tyrant, traitor, and murderer, and public enemy to the Commonwealth' in the sentence that the High Court gave him, showing how important it was to the judges to rid the kingdom of such a king. 34 But what happened after an individual was identif ied as not (or no longer) divinely sanctioned and was therefore deposed? Looking at who actually replaced a deposed monarch, the close relationship between the new monarch and the old is strikingly obvious.…”

“…33 Tellingly, in 1635 the Council also asked Johan Casimir if any of his sons would be interested in becoming prince-bishop of Bremen. 34 It would have provided a step up for one of the Palatine princes, but also a step away from the court at Stockholm.…”

“…33 In this sense, Archduke Mathias tested the resilience of dynastic entente in October 1577 when he fled from the imperial court to be appointed stadholder of the Netherlands by the Flemish who had rebelled against Philip II. 34 Mathias was the easiest target to help the rebels. Rudolf was busy as the new emperor, Archduke Ernest expected to be appointed governor of Austria, while his younger brothers Albert and Wenzel had almost been adopted by Philip II, who never supported either Mathias or his brother Maximilian to the same extent.…”

“…Such young children -both died in their first year of life -had never been reburied before, nor included in a rulers' crypt. 34 By reburying them in his own intended resting place, Charles constructed a burial site which was more inclusive than anything seen before. He included these little children in the post-mortem family group.…”

“…The chancellor von Pyhy had already fallen from grace and Gustav I wanted to proceed cautiously in both spiritual and worldly matters. 34 The riksdag of 1544 started with a long oration by the King in which he described his personal struggle for the wealth of the realm and its inhabitants. This was in essence a variation on the myth of the king-liberator that Gustav I had been carefully cultivating for years to help legitimate his claim to the crown.…”

The introduction discusses the concepts of dynasty and state formation and their interrelated nature. It stresses the need to define the concept of dynasty as a kinship group with an acute sense of historical continuity, claiming the right to rule a certain territory and manifesting this claim in political, social and cultural ways; and the related concept of dynasty formation as the acts, conscious or unconscious, whereby such a group achieved and upheld its position as a dynasty, and how that position developed and changed.

The 'personal rule' of Louis XIV witnessed a massive increase in the size of the French army and an apparent improvement in the quality of its officers, its men and the War Ministry. However, this is the first book to treat the French army under Louis XIV as a living political, social and economic organism, an institution which reflected the dynastic interests and personal concerns of the king and his privileged subjects. The book explains the development of the army between the end of Cardinal Mazarin's ministry and the outbreak of the War of the Spanish Succession, emphasising the awareness of Louis XIV and his ministers of the need to pay careful attention to the condition of the king's officers, and to take account of their military, political, social and cultural aspirations.
