"The King's Body is an important book that should engender controversy and excitement. Bertelli shows that longs in the European tradition were truly sacred in ways that need to be talen seriously. Following in the footsteps and expanding the work of Ernst Kantorowicz, Bertelli changes the way we understand premodern kingship, government, and society." - Guido Ruggiero, Penn State University
