Sometime between 1413 and 1422, a special liturgy was compiled in the diocese of Canterbury for the consecration of Henry V’s warships. This liturgy (Consecratio Navis), contained in three contemporary pontifical manuscripts, was unprecedentedly elaborate and more resembled the service for the dedication of a church than the occasional blessings for ships. Evoking the terrors of the sea and the contingencies of maritime life, this blessing transformed the wooden walls of Henry’s ship into a repository of sacred power, invested with the presence of the Holy Trinity, angels, and the saints. Though the ship did not become a floating church, it did become a kind of sacred space, a bulwark against foes both material and spiritual. In addition to being an especially ostentatious apotropaic ritual, this liturgy is also an extremely significant piece of evidence for the politics and self-image of the English Church under Henry V. Using the imagery of the Ship of the Church, Consecratio Navis substantiated the alliance between the English Church and the Lancastrian monarchy. In short, this article shows how this liturgy ritually manifested a societal and gubernatorial ideal of the Church contained within and protected by the state.

James VI of Scotland’s succession to the English throne as James I in 1603 was usually justified by contemporaries on the grounds that James was Henry VII’s senior surviving descendant, making him the rightful hereditary claimant. Some works, however, argued that James also had the senior Saxon hereditary claim to the English throne due his descent from St Margaret of Scotland—making his hereditary claim superior to that of any English monarch from William the Conqueror onwards. Morgan Colman’s Arbor Regalis, a large and impressive genealogy, was a visual assertion of this argument, showing that James’s senior hereditary claims to the thrones of both England and Scotland went all the way back to the very foundations of the two kingdoms. This article argues that Colman’s genealogy could also be interpreted in support of James’s Anglo-Scottish union project, showing that the permanent union of England and Scotland as Great Britain was both historically legitimate and a justifiable outcome of James’s combined hereditary claims.

This article considers the Scottish progresses undertaken during 1679-1682 by the future James II of England and VII of Scotland. At this time, James was heir presumptive to his elder brother Charles II but, as a Catholic, his likely succession was controversial and triggered what is commonly called the Exclusion Crisis. Building on existing work that has studied how James used progresses to negotiate key support in Scotland, this article views these political performances within a broader, trans-archipelagic context and asks how they affected the crown’s ability to extricate itself from this controversy. Using archival and primary material, and paying particular attention to the poems, addresses, and other scripts they incorporate, the first section of this article focuses on ways in which these progresses were staged for multiple audiences. The second part concentrates on their subsequent representation in print as a means to examine the contest that surrounded James’s succession. Drawing together these threads of print and performance, this article shows that James’s Scottish progresses offer insightful case studies for the continued significance of monarchic performance in the premodern world. It demonstrates their profound impact on discourse, debate and, ultimately, the monarchy’s successful political management of this crisis.

This article investigates how the idea of performing power becomes crucial in Italian Renaissance political thought. The analysis focuses on two pre-Machiavellian mirrors for princes written in the second half of the fifteenth century in the kingdom of Naples, under the Aragonese monarchy: Giovanni Pontano’s De principe (1465) and Giuniano Maio’s De maiestate (1492), respectively in Neo-Latin and the vernacular. These are the first Italian political treatises where the concept of majesty is systematically theorized and is linked with the practical aspects of the art of governing and the performance of power. In particular, the whole second part of Pontano’s text defines and illustrates the virtue of majesty as coinciding with the “external” image of princely rulership and with all concrete strategies deployed by the prince to gain consensus. This concept is recovered and emphasized in Maio’s De maiestate, the first treatise entirely devoted to this key aspect of kingship, to the extent that the figure of ideal princeps is encapsulated in the all-encompassing notion of majesty, the virtue that becomes the most important royal attribute. Thus, this new theory of statecraft, with a specific focus on the image that the ruler is able to give to his subjects and on the importance of the people’s consent, displays the emergence of a blossoming idea of political realism, which is specific to this age and context and would develop in more mature forms in the following century.
