A bride for the Tsar: bride-shows and marriage politics in early modern Russia
From 1505 to 1689, Russia's tsars chose their wives through an elaborate ritual: the bride-show. The realm's most beautiful young maidens-provided they hailed from the aristocracy-gathered in Moscow, where the tsar's trusted boyars reviewed their medical histories, evaluated their spi...

| Zusammenfassung: | From 1505 to 1689, Russia's tsars chose their wives through an elaborate ritual: the bride-show. The realm's most beautiful young maidens-provided they hailed from the aristocracy-gathered in Moscow, where the tsar's trusted boyars reviewed their medical histories, evaluated their spiritual qualities, noted their physical appearances, and confirmed their virtue. Those who passed muster were presented to the tsar, who inspected the candidates one by one-usually without speaking to any of them-and chose one to be immediately escorted to the Kremlin to prepare for her wedding and new life as the tsar's consort.Alongside accounts of sordid boyar plots against brides, the multiple marriages of Ivan the Terrible, and the fascinating spectacle of the bride-show ritual, A Bride for the Tsar offers an analysis of the show's role in the complex politics of royal marriage in early modern Russia. Russell E. Martin argues that the nature of the rituals surrounding the selection of a bride for the tsar tells us much about the extent of his power, revealing it to be limited and collaborative, not autocratic. Extracting the bride-show from relative obscurity, Martin persuasively establishes it as an essential element of the tsarist political system |

Martin Ithaca, NY Cornell University Press [2021] © 2012 1 online resource (394 pages) 9 halftones txt rdacontent c rdamedia cr rdacarrier NIU Series in Slavic, East European, and Eurasian Studies Description based on online resource; title from PDF title page (publisher's Web site, viewed 25. Feb 2021) From 1505 to 1689, Russia's tsars chose their wives through an elaborate ritual: the bride-show. The realm's most beautiful young maidens-provided they hailed from the aristocracy-gathered in Moscow, where the tsar's trusted boyars reviewed their medical histories, evaluated their spiritual qualities, noted their physical appearances, and confirmed their virtue. Those who passed muster were presented to the tsar, who inspected the candidates one by one-usually without speaking to any of them-and chose one to be immediately escorted to the Kremlin to prepare for her wedding and new life as the tsar's consort.Alongside accounts of sordid boyar plots against brides, the multiple marriages of Ivan the Terrible, and the fascinating spectacle of the bride-show ritual, A Bride for the Tsar offers an analysis of the show's role in the complex politics of royal marriage in early modern Russia. Russell E. Martin argues that the nature of the rituals surrounding the selection of a bride for the tsar tells us much about the extent of his power, revealing it to be limited and collaborative, not autocratic. Extracting the bride-show from relative obscurity, Martin persuasively establishes it as an essential element of the tsarist political system In English Geschichte 1505-1689 gnd rswk-swf Soviet & East European History HISTORY / Russia & the Former Soviet Union bisacsh Marriage customs and rites Russia History 16th century Marriage customs and rites Russia History 17th century Marriages of royalty and nobility Political aspects Russia Marriages of royalty and nobility Russia History 16th century Marriages of royalty and nobility Russia History 17th century Politik (DE-588)4046514-7 gnd rswk-swf Zar (DE-588)4129736-2 gnd rswk-swf Aristokratie (DE-588)4130286-2 gnd rswk-swf Eheschließung (DE-588)4013657-7 gnd rswk-swf Russland (DE-588)4076899-5 gnd rswk-swf Russland (DE-588)4076899-5 g Zar (DE-588)4129736-2 s Eheschließung (DE-588)4013657-7 s Politik (DE-588)4046514-7 s Aristokratie (DE-588)4130286-2 s Geschichte 1505-1689 z DE-604 Erscheint auch als Druck-Ausgabe 9780875804484 https://doi.org/10.1515/9781501756658 Verlag URL des Erstveröffentlichers Volltext |
