Abstract:

In her paper, Giovanna Guidicini discusses how triumphal entries staged in Edinburgh in the early modern period managed to incorporate the specific characteristics of potentially problematic monarchs such as Tudor sympathizer Queen Margaret, Catholic and French-raised Mary Queen of Scots, or Anglican absentee Charles I. Through pageants, speeches, and the public exchange of objects such as keys, books, scepters, provisions, and gifts in symbolic urban locations, the ruler’s religion, gender, age, or political sympathies were acknowledged, displayed, and finally defused, being incorporated in a traditional narrative of mutual dependency and cooperation.
