Итог:The article focuses upon the liturgical, monumental and literary staging of royal funerals in Denmark during the period 1526-1588. The seven cases analysed, reflecting both a transitional phase and the age of consolidation before and after the official institutionalization of the Lutheran Reformation in 1536, are read as equally exceptional and exemplary in a Protestant context. Attention in particular is given to various discourses on the value of traditions, on the display of magnificence versus the ideal of simplicity and on the Lutheran ideal of dissociation between the community of the dead and the living. In these issues, the royal funerals in several respects demonstrate the major power of continuity, especially during moments of crisis to the society deliberately stabilizing the changed status quo through the incessantly significant reference to the legitimizing past.
