{"product_id":"renaissance-monarchy-glenn-richardson-9780340731437","title":"Renaissance Monarchy: The Reigns of Henry VIII, Francis I and Charles V","description":"What determined success or failure in Renaissance monarchy? Why was warfare endemic in Europe in the early sixteenth century and how did the great cultural and artistic changes of the period flourish amid this conflict? How did rival kings relate to each other and what steps did they each take\u003cbr\u003eto strengthen their monarchies? In short, how did they govern? \u003cem\u003eRenaissance Monarchy\u003c\/em\u003e approaches these and related issues in a revealing way, providing the first single-volume comparative history of the most renowned kings of the Renaissance: the Holy Roman Empire Charles V, Francis I of France and\u003cbr\u003eHenry VIII of England. Bringing these three kings together, out of the relative isolation in which they are each studied, adds a fresh dimension to our understanding of contemporary ideals of kingship and reveals how these monarchs strove to be regarded as great warriors, effective governors and\u003cbr\u003egenerous patrons.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Glenn Richardson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0340731435\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780340731437\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Hodder Education Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/04\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 266\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.01lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.12h x 6.46w x 0.77d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2002 pg. 684\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGlenn Richardson is Senior Lecturer in History at St Mary's University College, UK\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Glenn Richardson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44119592599807,"sku":"9780340731437","price":49.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1a0b5e73-0081-4275-8c6c-79a348da7d8b.jpg?v=1687410066","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/renaissance-monarchy-glenn-richardson-9780340731437","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
