Itinerant
Kingship and Royal Monasteries in Early Medieval Germany, C. 936-1075
by John W. Bernhardt
Book Description This book examines the relationship between
the royal monasteries in tenth- and eleventh-century Germany and the German
monarchs. It focuses on the practical aspects of governing without a capital
and while constantly in motion, and on the payments and services that monasteries
provided to the king and that in turn supported the king's travel economically
and politically. It concludes that German rulers did in fact make much
greater use of their royal monasteries than has hitherto been recognized.

Pleasure
and Ambition: The Life, Loves and Wars of Augustus the Strong, 1670-1707
by Tony Sharp
Augustus the Strong of Saxony's life was consumed by two addictions:
the relentless pursuit of power and the uncompromising pursuit of pleasure.
From his accession as Elector of Saxony in 1694 (when his brother the previous
Elector died under mysterious circumstances) he pursued political power
and glory by fighting the Ottoman Turks, purchasing the Polish throne (becoming
a Catholic in the bargain) and warring against Sweden. His other great
addiction-to pleasure-primarily in the female form-continually distracted
Augustus from the single-minded pursuit of his dynastic aim. (He was reputed
to have produced an illegitimate child for every day of the year.) This
is the first biography in English of Augustus, and is based on primary
German sources and the dispatches of English diplomats.

Saxony
in German History
by James Retallack and Hartmut Zwahr
Book Description During the 100 years examined in this volume,
ordinary Germans discovered a new and powerful attachment to the nation.
But throughout this period, national loyalties competed with preexisting
loyalties to the locality and the region. The resulting tension made it
difficult for Germans to assign clear priorities to one kind of symbolic
attachment over another.
Focusing on the eastern German state of Saxony, the 21 contributors
to this volume refuse easy resolution of that tension, seeking instead
to illustrate how local, regional, and national cultures commingled, diverged,
and influenced each other over time. By considering both the erosion and
the persistence of traditional identities and regional boundaries, these
essays help to restore an appreciation of regional "ways of seeing," suggesting
they really did matter -- in their own right and for the nation as a whole.

Princes
and Territories in Medieval Germany
by Benjamin Arnold
Book Description This book addresses the most important question
in pre-modern German political history: why did a multiplicity of states
and territories emerge by the end of the Middle Ages instead of an incipient
'nation state' under the crown? The answer is found not in the supposed
failures of German kingship, but instead in the creative aristocratic successes
of the secular dynasties and princes of the Church. We see how their collective
efforts in the centuries after 1050 added up to a more markedly territorial
structure of regional power, already emerging by the thirteenth century
as a result of their endeavours in the economy, internal and external colonization,
and the establishment of new castles, towns, monasteries and communications;
in local, ecclesiastical and imperial law, and the jurisdictional reform
which they imposed in their regions; and in the uses of dynastic politics,
including feuds as well as alliances, inheritance and partition.
