Rezensionen

"Unexpected Heirs in Early Modern Europe, in bringing together a range of unexpected heirs from this period, collectively makes us more aware of just how frequently succession deviated from the ideal. ... the collection brings together an array of interesting and well-researched chapters that collectively enhance our understanding of monarchical succession." (Aidan Norrie, Royal Studies Journal, Vol. 6 (1), 2019)
