    "Medieval dynasties frequently relied upon the cult of royal saints for legitimacy. After the early medieval emergence of this type of sainthood, in the central Middle Ages most royal dynasties had saints in their family: Edward the Confessor, Olaf, Canute, Louis IX, Charlemagne, the Emperor Henry II and Wenceslas are some of the best-known examples." "Within this context the saints of the Hungarian ruling dynasty - the Arpadians - constitute a remarkable sequence: St. Stephen, the 'apostle king' converting his people; St. Emeric, the virtuous young prince preserving his virginity; St. Ladislas, the 'knight saint', St. Elizabeth; St. Margaret, and other central European blessed princesses, whose mendicant convents mirrored the Court of Heaven. This sequence of dynastic saints provides a unique example of the late medieval evolution of royal and dynastic sainthood, an important category in the medieval cults of saints. Building upon a series of case studies from Hungary and central Europe, and complementing it with a wide-ranging set of comparative data, analysing political, cultural, ritual and literary aspects of these religious cults, Gabor Klaniczay proposes an original new synthesis of the multiple forms and transformations of royal and dynastic sainthood in medieval Europe."--BOOK JACKET.
