Download or read book Medieval Germany 1056 1273 written by Alfred Haverkamp and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1988 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pp. 212-217 and 342-346, both entitled "The Jews as an Alien Minority", deal with the position of the Jews during the periods 1056-1152 and 1152-1273 respectively. The massacres of 1096 were carried out by mobs made fanatical by the crusading atmosphere and famine, at a time of crisis in church-state relations. Heinrich IV, who had granted the Jews of Worms protection charters in 1074, allowed forcibly baptized Jews to return to their faith in 1097. During the latter period (1152-1273) the Jews' isolation was increased by the Crusades, guild pressure, and harsh Church attitudes, driving them increasingly into usury. Riots occurred in 1235 after accusations of ritual murder. Friedrich II had them investigated and in 1236 declared them completely baseless.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "No one is likely to underrate the importance for the rest of Europe--and, indeed, for world history--of the German reaction, beginning in the days of Bismarck, to the crisis of modern industrial capitalism," writes Professor Barraclough, "but the peculiar character of that reaction is only comprehensible in the light of Germany's past. Factors deeply rooted in German history . . . constituted an iron framework, a mold within which were cast all German efforts, from 1870 to 1939, to cope with the problems of modern capitalist society."

Download or read book Name Unknown The Life of a Rusian Queen written by Christian Raffensperger and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-06-03 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Name Unknown: The Life of a Rusian Queen offers an example of an eastern European queen as a corrective to the western European focus of medieval queenship studies. Through a chronological approach, this book looks beyond the popular biographies of royal women such as Eleanor of Aquitaine and Berengaria of Castile and gathers material from sources throughout Europe. It engages with modern queenship studies literature to create a collective biography of a Rusian queen through the various cycles of her life from the marriage of eight-year-old Verkhuslava to the death of the ruler of Minsk whose generosity is recorded, but not her name. For medievalists interested in women and queens, Name Unknown: The Life of a Rusian Queen provides an entry point to an area of Europe rarely studied in that literature. For Slavists, it presents a way of looking at medieval Rusian women that has not yet appeared in this scholarly tradition. Ultimately, this biography integrates Rus, and eastern Europe, into the medieval world and acts as an important reminder that women are essential to our history and thus to our overall understanding of the past. This book is of great use to students and scholars interested in the history of women, queenship, and medieval Europe.
