This chapter is a continuation of the argument about divided loyalties begun in the previous chapter. Using Shakespeare’s Richard II, Shklar discusses the problem of conflicting roles and loyalties and links it to the concept of the political-theological concept and doctrine of the king’s “two bodies.” She locates Richard II as embodying a key moment in the transformation of the idea of divine kingship.Less
