Aliance mezi rodem Valois a Habsburky. Analýza slavobran při vjezdech Karla IX. a Alžběty Habsburské do Paříže v roce 1571

In March 1571, Paris welcomed the French King Charles I X upon his ceremonial arrival, and roughly three weeks later, also his new wife and the recently crowned Queen Elisabeth of Austria. Both ceremonies were accompanied by several panegyrical texts informing the broad public about these events. As regards the allegorical decoration of the city, it bore a rather similar message on the two arrivals. An interpretation of the used symbols and artistic renditions at the individual ceremonial stops reveals how was the Habsburg family perceived by the French society twelve years after the Peace of Cateau-Cambrésis. Furthermore, ambitions of the Valois dynasty are introduced, as well as what it expected from this union with the Habsburgs through marriage in the future.
