The monograph realigns political culture and countermeasures against slave raids, which increased during the breakup of the Golden Horde. By physical defense of the open steppe border and by embracing the New Israel symbolism in which the exodus from slavery in Egypt prefigures the exodus of Russian captives from Tatar captivity, Muscovites found a defensive model to expand empire. Recent scholarly debates on slaving are innovatively applied to Russian and imperial history, challenging entrenched perceptions of Muscovy.

Der Pyrenäenfriede von 1659 beendete den seit 1635 geführten französisch-spanischen Krieg. Seine Vorgeschichte mit den zahlreichen vergeblichen Versuchen, den Frieden schon früher zu erzwingen, zeigt, dass es um mehr ging als eine Befriedung zweier besonders hartnäckiger Kriegsgegner, die nach dem Westfälischen Frieden von 1648 noch ausstand. 1659 wurde die Tektonik des europäischen Staatensystems neu gestaltet: Die französische Hegemonie begann, das glorreiche »Siglo de Oro« Spaniens endete.Dieser Band versammelt Beiträge spanischer, französischer, russischer und deutscher Autoren, die den langen Weg zum Frieden und seine Rezeption in den europäischen Wissenschaftskulturen nachzeichnen.

Despite the execution of Charles I and the establishment of a kingless republic, the period of the English Civil Wars and their aftermath is rarely described as one of constitutional revolution. The notion that the 1650s were politically conservative is exemplified by the tendency of historians to fixate upon the offer of kingship to Oliver Cromwell and his increasingly monarchical appearance. This book rethinks the political history of the 1640s and 1650s by focusing instead upon the upper parliamentary chamber. Besides exploring changing attitudes towards the House of Lords during the Civil Wars, and the circumstances that led to its abolition in 1649, it provides the first thorough study of the Cromwellian "Other House" - a new upper parliamentary chamber of nominated life peers created in 1657. Jonathan Fizgibbons demonstrates how the Other House was much more integral to Cromwell's aims for a lasting post-war settlement than the offer of the Crown. More broadly, this book reconceptualises the political and constitutional history of the 1640s and 1650s by looking beyond outward forms of government and visual culture. It argues that radical shifts in political thought were concealed by apparent continuities in forms of government. Even though the new Cromwellian upper chamber had the familiar appearance of a House of Lords, the very meaning of the House of Lords was contested and transformed by the experience of the Civil Wars and their aftermath.
