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":"Hardcover","offer_id":47600389849239,"sku":"9783110262025","price":17933.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783110262025.webp?v=1775008247","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/patterns-of-episcopal-power-bishops-in-tenth-and-eleventh-century-western-europe-9783110262025","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
