From the Reformation to the French Revolution, aspiring men seized on these signs to position themselves in a changing society, imbuing heraldic tradition with fresh meaning. Whereas post-medieval developments are all too often described in terms of decadence and stifling formality, recent studies rightly stress the dynamic capacity of bearing arms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eHeraldic Hierarchies\u003c\/i\u003e aims to correct former misconceptions. Contributing authors rethink the influence of shifting notions of nobility on armorial display and expand this topic to heraldry's share in shaping and contesting status. Moreover, addressing a common thread, the volume explores how emerging states turned the heraldic experience into an instrument of power and policy. Contributing to debates on social and noble identity, \u003ci\u003eHeraldic Hierarchies\u003c\/i\u003e uncovers a vital and surprising aspect of the pre-modern hierarchical world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContributors: Richard Cust (University of Birmingham); Dominique Delgrange (Lille); Luc Duerloo (University of Antwerp); Joseph McMillan (Alexandria VA); Camille Pollet (Universit� de Nantes); Antoine Robin (�cole Pratique des Hautes �tudes); Simon Rousselot (�cole Pratique des Hautes �tudes); Cl�ment Savary (�cole Pratique des Hautes �tudes); Hamish Scott (Jesus College, Oxford); Steven Thiry (University of Antwerp); Jos� Manuel Valle Porras (C�rdoba); Nicolas Vernot (Universit� de Cergy-Pontoise)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Leuven University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46864230252695,"sku":"9789462702431","price":6623.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9789462702431.webp?v=1769973529","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/heraldic-hierarchies-identity-status-and-state-intervention-in-early-modern-heraldry-9789462702431","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
