This book brings together a group of leading experts on the
political history of Germany and the medieval empire from the
Carolingian period to the end of the Middle Ages. Its purpose is to
introduce and analyse key concepts in the study of medieval
political culture. The representation of power by means of texts,
buildings and images is a theme which has long interested
historians. However, recent debates and methodological insights
have fundamentally altered the way this subject is perceived,
opening it up to perspectives unnoticed by its pioneers in the
middle of the twentieth century. By taking account of these debates
and insights, this volume explores a series of fundamental
questions. How was power defined in a medieval context How was it
claimed, legitimized and disputed What were the moral parameters
against which its exercise was judged How did different spheres of
political power interact What roles were played by texts, images
and rituals in the maintenance of, and challenges to, the political
order The contributors bring varied and original approaches to
these and other questions, illuminating the complex power
relationships which determined the changing political history of
medieval Germany.
