{"product_id":"9783110262032","title":"Patterns of Episcopal Power: Bishops in Tenth and Eleventh Century Western Europe","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"De Gruyter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47180266799344,"sku":"9783110262032","price":126.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9783110262032_p0.jpg?v=1763716007","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9783110262032","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
