Abstract: This book, the fifth in the Imperialiter series, explores the theme of the king’s imperial glory, which is investigated in its various manifestations and representations. The empire constitutes a reservoir of gestures, images, ceremonies for all the kings, who have always placed glory at the foundation of their government, conceiving the liturgy of their manifestation as an element of a political theology based on monarchical epiphany. The contributions collected here focus on the applications of imperial glory which, from the Middle Ages to the modern age, reveal the very nature of sovereign power, constantly renewing its perception.
