Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book interrogates the nature and source of the authority of kings, questioning the idea of their right to rule based on lineage alone. The author argues that, in England, kings gained their authority from the people, via acts of Parliament, and that allegiance to the reigning monarch is a matter of law rather than birthright. The book examines the evolution of this idea, from its roots in common law to its formalization in the Act of Recognition in the reign of Henry VII, and draws on a range of sources including statutes, court records, and historical accounts to present a compelling argument that the concept of the divine right of kings is a relatively recent invention, and that the true authority of the English monarchy has always been rooted in law and consent. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9780282070373_0
