Paper -b:
The following paper deals with an important aspect of the display of power in the medieval Kingdom of Aragon. The Crone of Aragon depended on the financial support of her subjects and the majority of her achievements are due to this support. The kings display their power by means of ever increasing court and a permanent developing ceremony. Self portrayal of rank and wealth played an important role with regard to the king self-awareness. The monarch could use in moments of crisis a different image, of one who is able to give over wealth and rank in order to achieve political support. These aspects of the interchangeability of those images are the subject of my paper.
