What if I told you that sovereignty, as we know it today, didn’t really exist in the Middle Ages? In this clip, @ByzantineCalvinist and I dive into the fascinating history of how territorial sovereignty emerged, shaped by events like the Reformation, the discovery of the New World, and the printing press. We’ll explore how monarchs like Ferdinand and Isabella, the Tudors, and Napoleon helped consolidate power, creating the nation-states we recognize today. Stay tuned for a deep dive into the forces that changed the very concept of political control!
