Philippe de Clèves 1456-1528 : homme politique et bibliophile

KORTE INHOUD

Philip of Cleves (1456-1528) was a remarkable man in more than one way. Philip was the son of Adolphe, seignior of Cleves and Ravenstein, and of Beatrice of Portugal and, like many aristocrats at the end of the Middle Ages, he enjoyed a luxurious lifestyle. The various contributions to this book provide an answer to the key question about Philip's political leanings during this troubled period: what priority did he place on his relations with the prince and the other aristocrats, or did he rather prefer to secure his interests in the city? Based largely on unpublished documentation, attention is focussed on the cultural, political, social and military role played by Philip of Cleves in the conflicts between City and State. French text.
