This book presents thirteen contributions covering a geographical area ranging from the Maghreb to Japan on the different manifestations of royal ideology in the civilizations of Asia from the most ancient times until the dawn of modern times. These texts try to explore the various expressions taken by the discourse justifying the legitimacy of the prince by focusing first on the different media conveying the royal discourse: myths, genealogies, epics, princes' mirrors are the first vectors. But there are many others such as statues, images and even porcelains in Ming China which appeal to the senses as much as to reason to return the image of a powerful, legitimate and sometimes even deified sovereign. Almost every time, it is the role of the sovereign in the organization of society and its relations with the celestial world that is emphasized. He clearly appears as the guardian and the guarantor of this precarious balance.
