| Summary: | Can a ruler be a failure? For the first time, the contributors have focused on this question and with the help of case studies analyse rulers of the 3rd millennium BC to the 11th century AD. Here, important criteria for the success or failure of a ruler can be identified: their relationship to religion; the fulfilment of established or individual expectations and norms; how they met challenges; personal characteristics as well as the manner of the end of their rule. The results, which have impacts on recent studies, demand a critical analysis which gains momentum due to its intercultural comparison and diachronic perspective. Moreover, the multi-perspective view can help to identify and refine chances and limitations of different methodical approaches. |
