Download or read book Eleventh century Germany written by and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2013-01-01 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Three of the most important chronicles of eleventh-century Germany were composed in the south-western duchy of Swabia. The chronicles reveal how between 1049 and 1100 the centripetal attraction of the reform papacy became the dominant fact of intellectual life in German reformed monastic circles. In the abbey of Reichenau Herman 'the Lame' composed a chronicle of the reign of Emperor Henry III (1039-56). His pupil, Berthold of Reichenau, continued his master's work, composing a detailed account of 1076-1079 in Germany. Bernold, a clergyman of Constance, continued the work of Herman and Berthold in a text containing the fullest extant account of 1080-1100. Herman’s waning enthusiasm for the monarchy and growing interest in the newly reformed papacy were intensified in Berthold’s chronicle, and writing in the new context of the reformed monasteries of south-western Germany, Bernold preached total obedience to the Gregorian papacy. The Swabian chronicles are an indispensable resource to the student of the changing loyalties and conflicts of eleventh-century Germany.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Medieval Germany, 500-1300 is an interpretation of the foundation of Germany based upon the three most outstanding characteristics of the medieval polity: its division into several distinct peoples with their own customs, dialects, and economic interests from whom the later 'Germans' would be drawn; the imperial ambitions to which the successive German dynasties aspired; and the structure of German kingship, which was a military, religious, and juridical exercise of authority rather than a meticulous administration based upon scribal institutions.

Book excerpt: The inner workings of early medieval societies cannot be understood without also studying their links - religious, cultural, economic and political - with their neighbours.

Download or read book Medieval Germany 1056 1273 written by Alfred Haverkamp and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This valuable and up-to-date guide to the complex and generally unfamiliar history of medieval Germany provides a comprehensive and vivid portrayal of this important time period in German and European history. Haverkamp begins with the accession of Henry IV to the German throne in 1056, takes in the reign of the energetic and successful Frederick Barbarossa (1152-1190) and ends with the election of Rudolf Habsburg who reimposed order following the fall of the Hohenstaufens. The German empire stretched from Rome to Pomerania, and from Hainaut to Silesia; its history is of major significance for the politics of Europe, for the expansion of Latin Christendom, and for the fortunes of the Papacy. Every aspect of its internal life is covered: economic growth and population increase, education, trade and industry, the church and religious life. Political development and accompanying social changes are examined and placed in their European context.

Download or read book Itinerant Kingship and Royal Monasteries in Early Medieval Germany C 936 1075 written by John W. Bernhardt and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2002-08-22 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In examining the relationship between the royal monasteries in tenth- and eleventh-century Germany and the German monarchs, this book assimilates a great deal of European scholarship on a central problem - that of the realities and structures of power. It focuses on the practical aspects of governing without a capital and while constantly in motion, and on the payments and services which monasteries provided to the king and which in turn supported the king's travel economically and politically. Royal-monastic relations are investigated in the context of the 'itinerant kingship' of the period to determine how this relationship functioned in practice. It emerges that German rulers did in fact make much greater use of their royal monasteries than has hitherto been recognised.
