Factional Struggles' explores the dynamics of conflicts among ruling elites within cities, dynastic courts, rural areas and regional noble lineages during the early modern period. Building on case studies from France, Italy, the Empire and the Swiss Confederation, the essays collected by Mathieu Caesar in this volume highlight how factions were formed and how they shaped political society from the late Middle Ages. The authors have especially focused on how political and religious ideologies contributed to the formation of partisanship, the role of propaganda, and the significance and strategies of factional leaders. The volume shows how factions, despite the generally negative view of them held by theologians and jurists, were in practice accepted and used as political tools.

"In the middle of the Great War, Victor Cavendish, the ninth Duke of Devonshire, and his wife Lady Evelyn landed in Halifax in November 1916 so he could serve as the governor general of Canada. Throughout the difficult years of the First World War and its aftermath, the new governor general travelled extensively, oversaw policy, presided over Canada's rejection of the British honours system, and walked a fine line between the colonial authorities and Canada's desire for greater independence. Meanwhile, the duchess managed their home at Rideau Hall and fretted over propriety between her daughters and the young male staff who lived with them. In Victor and Evie, Dorothy Anne Phillips provides an intimate portrait of a family at the centre of Canadian social and political life. Based on personal letters released in 2005, the correspondence of an aide-de-camp, the duke's diary, and other primary documents, Phillips constructs a detailed inquiry into the family's relationships with each other and with the promin.

"Noblesse oblige." La maxime du duc Pierre-Marc-Gaston de Lévis (1764-1830) est passée dans le langage courant pour évoquer les obligations morales qui pèsent sur les détenteurs d'un nom, et plus généralement pour inviter tous les prétendants à la respectabilité à adopter un comportement conforme à la dignité qu'ils revendiquent. L'idée n'était pas nouvelle. En 1665, dans son Dom Juan, Molière plaçait déjà dans la bouche de Dom Louis une tirade véhémente devenue fameuse : "Non, non, la naissance n'est rien où la vertu n'est pas." Si la noblesse reposait sur la vertu, quelle définition donnait-on à cette qualité ? S'agissait-il du courage guerrier, de l'exemplarité morale ou de l'appartenance au monde des gens de bien ? Vivre de ses rentes ne suffisait plus pour être reconnu comme noble dans une société où, à partir du XVIIe siècle, le roi s'imposa comme le maître des identités. Sous une unité de façade, quelles failles économiques, culturelles et idéologiques traversaient la noblesse à l'époque moderne ? À quelles obligations, surtout, se sentait-elle tenue, et quelles formes prenaient les engagements politiques, religieux et partisans qui l'animaient ? Quel était le sens des termes "vocation" ou "service" pour les seigneurs et les dames de l'Ancien Régime ? C'est à ces questions, et à quelques autres, que ce volume propose des éléments de réponse, non par une approche systématique de la noblesse en tant qu'ordre ou catégorie sociale illusoire, mais à travers une analyse fondée sur l'examen de traces, de textes et d'archives, qui permettent de brosser un panorama de la société des princes et des princesses, des seigneurs et des capitaines, des nobles d'épée et des courtisans, entre le temps de la Renaissance et l'aube du XIXe siècle
