Abstract

The article examines the concept of union as a mode of political association characteristic for the medieval society and its feudal organization, in which power was closely tied to a person, family and dynasty. The main form of state union was dynastic marriage, although the cause of union could also be conquest or the election of a monarch to the vacant throne of a neighboring state. Because of this personal and family character of unions, many of them were short-lived, but some of them, due to geographical and other conditions and circumstances, grew into real and lasting unions, as, for example, the history of insular Great Britain shows. The unions between French and English dynasties, on the other hand, did not lead to real unification. In Italy, due to the fragmentation of the country, political marriages, despite their high frequency, also did not lead to the formation of stable alliances and served only private political purposes. An example of a sharply negative attitude to interstate matrimonial alliances are the views of the encyclopedist writer Yuri Krizhanich, expressed in his treatise “Politics” (Razgowory ob wldatelystwu), written in Russia in 1663—1666.
