Abstract:
AbstractThis article discusses the problem of why there was a constant demand for ennoblement in seventeenth- and eighteenth-century Central Europe, even though those who aspired to it had little or no prospect of integration into the established feudal nobility. Nobility was first and foremost an ideological concept closely connected to power and rule. The Holy Roman emperors ennobled persons who exercised power precisely because, in the premodern social order, the exercise of power was a prerogative of the nobility. However, the newly ennobled had only their title in common with the old aris

Between the end of the eighteenth century and the end of the nineteenth century, maintaining a successful and lucrative business made it one of the most distinguished middle-class families in Metlika and White Carniola. The family’s standing was further raised and fortified through equally successful strategies of forming marriage alliances, above all with the Croatian petty nobility along the Kolpa River.

Abstract:
This chapter considers the prevailing notion in the eighteenth century that nobility was a necessary bulwark of political freedom. Whether in the interest of a more open nobility or of a more closed and impenetrable nobility, the view was the same. Nobility as such, nobility as an institution, was necessary to the maintenance of a free constitution. There was also a general consensus that parliaments or ruling councils were autonomous, self-empowered, or empowered by history, heredity, social utility, or God; that they were in an important sense irresponsible, free to oppose the King (where th

Proceeding from an examination of the Roman concepts of imperium and auspices (auspicia), especially as they relate to the realm of war, and of the constitutional position and powers of the Dictator and the Master of the Horse (magister equitum) relative to each other and to the Consuls and lower magistrates, the work presents

Abstract European society was largely dominated by rich, hereditary, landed oligarchies. Most of the members of these groups also enjoyed nobility. Human society has never existed without elites, but those of the post-industrial world are numerous, diverse, and difficult to assess in their relative importance. Before 1800 matters were much simpler. Most wealth, most power, most privilege, and most prestige tended nearly everywhere to be concentrated in the hands of a single social group, universally recognizable.

Abstract The nobility was the smallest yet the dominant class of Russian society. Detailed and comprehensive surveys of its size and territorial distribution before 1782 are lacking. Kliuchevskii estimated that the capital nobility consisted of 6,385 males in 1681. Since the nobility of Petersburg and Moscow gubernias constituted about 30 percent of the total nobility of the twenty-six gubernias of central Russia in 1782 and 1816, the size of the Russian nobility in 1681, if the same ratio applied, would have been about 19,000 males.

Consequently, war was central to state formation in this era.

Peter then died without making a choice, but a court faction headed by his close lieutenant, Alexander Menshikov, placed his widow, Catherine, on the throne.
