- Title
LA CORTE VICEREALE DI SICILIA TRA PUBBLICO E PRIVATO: DINAMICHE CORTIGIANE, RUOLI, POTERI.
- Authors
Cancila, Rossella
- Abstract
The essay outlines some characteristics of the viceroy’s court in Sicily during the Habsburg Age: his family, the circle of confidants, composition and articulation of institutional roles, costs, forms of participation. What emerges is a articulated context – powers of different intensity and in competing on the territory, jurisdictional conflicts, property disputes and matrimonial agreements, private vendettas – elements that highlight the complexity of the relationship between peripheral nobility and central power, interpersonal relationships and international networks, pervasive negotiation process, which confirm the representation of a kingdom not entirely subject to the will of Madrid.
