Itinerant Kingship and Royal Monasteries in Early Medieval Germany, - C.936107

Klappentext 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. Zusammenfassung This book assimilates a great deal of European scholarship on the realities and structures of power. It examines an important aspect of early medieval government! itinerant kingship! and shows how monasteries and convents in tenth- and eleventh-century Germany lent it crucial economic and political support.
