Commemorating Power in Early Medieval Saxony

Writing and Rewriting the Past at Gandersheim and Quedlinburg

Beschreibung

Commemorating Power looks at how the past was evoked for political purposes under a new Saxon dynasty, the Ottonians, who came to dominate post-Carolingian Europe after 888 as the rulers of a new empire in Germany and Italy, focusing on two convents of monastic women who played a significant role in Ottonian politics.
