Economic History of Monarchy

In monarchies, power, law, finances, and economy are intertwined aspects of the royal household. The aim of this research seminar is to discuss research on economic and financial aspects of monarchies and dynasties from antiquity to present day. In particular, the interdependencies of finances, economics and monarchical rule are of interest. The research seminar, furthermore, hopes to encourage further research into this topic, and to enable comparative and interdisciplinary studies between different times and spaces.

We enjoy having a bit of a chit-chat after the seminar and invite all participants to join us with their beverage of choice.

All seminars are online and begin at 17:00 UK time (18:00 CET). Please book your tickets here www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/research-seminar-economic-history-of-monarchy-tickets-130176616765 or contact mailto:cathleen.sarti@history.ox.ac.uk to be put on the mailing list to receive the link.
