In this article we seek to argue a 16th century humanist Claude de Seyssel developed his image of the king of France Louis XII by relying more on the medieval «Mirrors of princes» treatises than on the works of the Italian humanists of the 15th century. Working in the context in which many theologians, political theorists and legal scholars had created different approaches to the problem of the balance of power between the Empire, the Papacy and the emerging independent kings of France, we argue, he managed to create his own concept in which one may discern traces of concepts of Thomas Aquinus, and particularly, the influence of Aegidius of Rome as a key reference point.
Keywords: Claude de Seyssel, Aegedius of Rome, image of royal power, «Mirrors for princes»
