Page ix Preface This study is the fruit of an accidental obsession. I began graduate school in 1975 with some curiosity about a simple and obvious question: Why did princely courts become so important in later medieval and Renaissance Europe? The classic guide to proper behavior for "a gentleman that lives in courts of princes,"1 Baldassare Castiglione's Book of the Courtier, appeared in this period, creating a model for centuries to follow. By 1700, every European prince worthy of the name had a splendid court or was scrambling to develop one. Those princes emulated the most brilliant manifestation in Western culture of the prince-in-court, Louis XIV of France at Versailles.2
