Description
- Focuses on bridal journeys for premodern monarchy and society from many different perspectives, helping the reader to obtain a full overview of the marriage journeys.
- Utilises evidence and sources and will appeal to upper-level students and scholars of court studies, the history of monarchy and for those interested in premodern Europe. Special attention is paid to the gender differences, arguing that the male and female journeys differed in protocol issues but not in the agency of the wedding traveler.
- The book includes a wide variety of evidence such as travelogues, financial accounts, chronicles and poems which helps to show the wider patterns and models of the marriage journeys and not limiting it to one type of marriage or one geographical zone.
