During the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, the Crown of Aragon was a rapidly expanding and powerful political unit with an original form of representative government. Throughout this period, a series of energetic and talented rulers sought to maintain royal authority and to govern their realms effectively. This book examines the ways in which they used the art of rhetoric to uphold royal power and to gain their subjects' co-operation.
