Antonin R.
The Ideal Ruler in Medieval Bohemia
BRILL, Leiden 2017
The Ideal Ruler in Medieval Bohemia discusses the development of
medieval concepts and ideas about just and unjust rulership in medieval
Bohemia. This theme is examined in the context of the European political
thinking between 6th and 14th centuries.
Robert Antonín provides new insights into interpretations of
medieval sources of various kinds and asks innovative questions
regarding the legitimization of monarchic power, the importance of Saint
Wenceslaus, the role of ancient and biblical motifs in the Czech
sources, and the influence of chivalric ideals on concepts of power. The
theme of the book revolves around medieval perceptions of ideal
rulership, which is seen as one of the cultural-anthropological
constants shaping the social reality of the contemporary world.
