- PublicationRestriction temporaireDynasties and Dynastic Rule between Elite Reproduction and State Building in Europe, 1300-1600Discussions on the nature and evolution of pre-modern European polities are as old as history itself as an academic discipline. When the scholarly enquiry into the past found a home in universities, first in the German-speaking world with the efflorescence of Historismus in the early nineteenth century and soon after in other parts of the world, historians were first and foremost preoccupied with tracing the genealogies of their own political projects, that is, the nineteenth-century states. The first question is how to conceptualise the dynastic union of two or more territories as a political and social project. For this, this chapter focuses on classic essay of John H. Elliott on composite unions in early modern Europe which was published in 1992 in Past & Present. The best approach to test whether processes of dynastic unification and disintegration among princely dynasties and regional elites were structurally identical or not is to compare whether both milieus saw the same trend towards concentration.

But if no important event could take place without a banquet, then no banquet could take place without various types of entertainment – during the dinner or at the end of it. Spectacles, dances, declamations, prizes awarded to the winners of the tournaments, and other rejoicings were intertwined with the meals: according to the sources, more than the dishes served, it was these festivities which turned the dinner into a feast. This article, focusing on the Court of Savoy between 1450 and 1550, will try to show that all the important curial events of this time were part of a programme – which included ceremonies, jousts, banquets and, also, special evenings. These moments should be studied together, as they were conceived this way. The nocturnal festivities, in particular, were the outcome of thoroughly planned scenarios.
