Hey #medievaltwitter, does anyone know of books regarding kingship in the global Middle Ages that isn’t a really white-gazey sort of thing? There are some books out there that I was recommended before but they were....not great.

Millennial Sovereign was amazing for charismatic kingship, even beyond its area (Mughal India, Safavid Iran, Timurid Central Asia). I've wanted more on kingship. Thanks for this list, which I'll use too.
