| Abstract | In this series of sessions on medieval and early modern dynasticism organized by the project 'The Jagiellonians: Dynasty, Memory and Identity in Central Europe' (University of Oxford), we aim to ask afresh what royal and princely dynasty was at the time. Our sessions seek to put dynasty under the spotlight, as a category of analysis in its own right, and as a major organising political principle in the Pre-Modern world. The first out of four sessions brings together three wide-ranging papers on dynasties in Western and Central Europe: the Habsburgs, the Jagiellonians, and Alpine dynasties. It explores how dynasties were constructed and used in the late middle ages and early modern period and presents different approaches to studying them. |
