The Watershed of Modern Politics: Law, Virtue, Kingship, and Consent (1300–1650) - The Emergence of Western Political Thought in the Latin Middle Ages

Focuses on the era of the divine right of kings, the last period when kingship was a vital political institution. Identifies the assassinations of Henry III and Henry IV of France as the start of serious challenges to royal sovereignty, with the execution of Charles I of England representing the decisiive repudiation of sacral kingship.
