Description: "Charles de Guise, Cardinal of Lorraine, played an eminent role in the political, diplomatic, religious, and cultural life of 16th-century France and Europe. The present volume offers twenty-five scientific essays that elucidate the action and the character of the contested cardinal in the light of new documents and unusual perspectives. They aim at a clearer vision of the Cardinal's position in the debates on Church and State, highlighting the focal points and the evolution of his ideas as he negotiated his way through the political and financial turmoil of a bankrupt monarchy and a crisis-shaken continent."--Publisher's website.
