Patterns of Episcopal Power

Ludger Körntgen, Dominik Waßenhoven

Volume 6 in this series

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 milennium 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.

As a patron, Albert, Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha (1819–1861) successfully promoted the effectiveness of scientific institutions. For the first time, newly discovered sources in the state archives of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha as well as the Royal Archives in Windsor Castle enable an authenticated account of Albert's university education and of the University of Bonn with its research and teaching from 1837 to 1838. In addition, for current research on elites, this volume reveals the significance of the university for the education of the higher aristocracy in the early 19th century.

Whenever the British Press wants to attack the Royal Family, they make a jibe about “their foreign roots”. The Royals – as they say – are simply a posh version of German invaders. But did German relatives really influence decisions made by any British monarchs or are they just an “imagined community”, invented by journalists and historians?

The Royal Archives at Windsor gave the authors – among others John Röhl, doyen of 19th century monarchical history – open access to Royal correspondences with six German houses: Hanover, Prussia, Mecklenburg, Coburg, Hesse and Battenberg.
