How do gender and power relationships affect the expression of family, House and dynastic identities? The present study develops a new vision of power as a gendered concept, using a case study of the House of Orange-Nassau whose extensive visual, material and archival sources from both male and female members enable us to trace their complex attempts to express, gain and maintain power: in texts, material culture, and spaces, as well as rituals, acts and practices.
