Summary/Abstract: The essay deals with the complex of social, political, and cultural aspects of the Royal court in the Late Medieval and Early Modern England. Such a complex approach to court studies allows reconstructing the evolution of all above mentioned aspects for a long running chronological period (from the reign of Edward the Confessor to the Tudor and Stuart monarchy), and fulfill a wide synchronistic and diachronistic analysis. The English court is represented as a specific institution producing both main conceptual definitions and foundations of social structures and mainstreams of depending self-identification in a long-term historical perspective. A quintessence and resuming point summarizing all these aspects of courtly life is its role in creation of so called immaterial forms of power and in development of the elaborative mythology of power. The court represented its monarch as a sacred center of the society and made him a real power incarnated.
