"At a time of lengthy and aleatory travels while having to take care of the administration and the defence of their numerous possessions, European sovereigns of the Renaissance and of the Early Modern era could not be present in all of their States. In order to ensure the continuity of government during their absence, they delegated power to their trusted representatives holding various titles (viceroy, lieutenant / governor general, etc.) and multiple competencies (political, judicial, military, etc.) for a variable period of time according to the circumstances. Through the study of their origins, entourage and production of documents as well as the thematic analysis of the use of their power, this volume, elaborated in the framework of the ANR AcRoNavarre project, sheds light for the first time on the different statuses of these alter ego of majesty in Europe and in the Americas"--Back cover.

"Often ignored in the study of Canadian history or dismissed as a vestige of colonial status, the governor general's office provides essential historical insight into Canada's constitutional evolution. In the nineteenth century, as today, individual governors general exercised considerable scope in interpreting their approach to the office. The era from 1847 to 1878 witnessed profound changes in Canada's relationship with Britain, and in this new book Barbara J. Messamore explores the nature of these changes through an examination of the role of the governor general."--Jacket.
