Paths to Kingship in Medieval Latin Europe, c. 950-1200

Beschreibung

What did kingship mean to medieval Europeans - especially to those who did not wear a crown? From the training of heirs, to the deathbed of kings and the choosing of their successors, this engaging study explores how a ruler's subjects shaped both the idea and the reality of power.
