Description

The course examines how these monarchies employed administrative, fiscal and legal reforms to centralize their power and how they used diplomacy, alliances and, at times, violence and war as tools to reinforce their authority and expand their influence.

Finally, it will analyze how the consolidation of these monarchies transformed not only their own kingdoms, but also paved the way for the formation of modern nation-states and a new balance of power in Europe. The centralization of royal power and innovations in governance and culture laid the foundations for political structures that would profoundly influence European history for centuries to come.
