Capetian France 987-1328
Author: Elizabeth M HallamPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317877284
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 497
Book Description
In 987, when Hugh Capet took the throne of France, founding a dynasty which was to rule for over 300 years, his kingdom was weak and insignificant. But by 1100, the kingdom of France was beginning to dominate the cultural nd religious life of western Europe. In the centuries that followed, to scholars and to poets, to reforming churchmen and monks, to crusaders and the designers of churches, France was the hub of the universe. La douce France drew people like a magnet even though its kings were, until about 1200, comparatively insignificant figures. Then, thanks to the conquests and reforms of King Philip Augustus, France became a dominant force in political and economic terms as well, producing a saint-king, Louis IX, and in Philip IV, a ruler so powerful that he could dictate to popes and emperors. Spanning France's development across four centuries, Capetian France is a definitive book. This second edition has been carefully revised to take account of the very latest work, without losing the original book's popular balance between a compelling narrative and an fascinating examination of the period's main themes.
Power and Its Problems in Carolingian Europe
Author: Stuart AirliePublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351219243
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 515
Book Description
A key theme in this collection of thirteen essays is the creative tension between the Carolingian dynasty and its aristocratic followers across 250 years. The first section explores the rising dynasty's attempts to consolidate its power through war and rewards. The second section focuses on the exercise of authority through a complex system of governance and representation, and the pivotal role played by the courts of Charlemagne and his successors. In the third section, we see the Carolingian system undergoing a crisis of legitimacy, challenged by civil war, royal divorce, and aristocratic encroachment on dynastic exclusivity. These essays anatomise the dynamics of power relations in the greatest empire of the early medieval west.

Deutschland und der Westen Europas im Mittelalter
Author: Joachim EhlersPublisher: Jan Thorbecke Verlag
ISBN:
Category : History
Languages : de
Pages : 602
Book Description
Die Frage nach den Beziehungen der Mitte Europas zu dessen westlichen Gebieten muss im Zeitalter der sich vergrossernden Europaischen Union in einem umfassenden Sinne neu gestellt werden. Das gelingt nicht durch die Addition von Spezialuntersuchungen zu Einzelproblemen, sondern nur durch eine breit angelegte Synthese verschiedener Ansatze im Zusammenwirken mehrerer Disziplinen. Alle Beitrage des Bandes gehen deshalb der Frage nach, unter welchen Umstanden und auf welchen Wegen sich jener Akkulturationsprozess vollzogen hat, der das mittelalterliche Europa hervorgebracht hat.
