Book Description
The years 1300-1360 were pivotal in the history of papal-imperial theory. During much of this era, the papacy was in Avignon and the emperors were engaged in wars in Germany and Italy, where the pope was losing authority. This book proposes a new synthesis of the development of theories of empire and papacy in this exceptionally creative period of political thought.
