Medieval History
PATTERNS OF EPISCOPAL POWER
Bishops in Tenth and Eleventh Century Western Europe
Ed. by Ludger Körntgen and Dominik Waßenhoven.
In medieval Europe, the death of a king could not only cause a dispute about the succession, but also a severe crisis. In times of a vacant throne particular responsibility fell to the bishops ? whose general importance for the time around the first millennium has been revealed by recent scholarship ? as royal counsellors and policy makers. This volume therefore concentrates on the bishops? room for manoeuvre and the patterns of episcopal power, focusing on the Eastern Frankish Reich and Anglo-Saxon England in a comparative approach which is not least based upon the research of a renowned medievalist, Timothy Reuter. His article about ?A Europe of Bishops? (?Ein Europa der Bischöfe?) is presented in English translation for the first time.
