This selection of articles, published for the 50th anniversary of
the author's doctorate at GAttingen, opens with studies on his
teacher, Percy Ernst Schramm, and his contribution to the study of
the medieval state and continues with examples of state symbology
from Central Europe. Questions of legitimization and representation
of kings and queens through texts and Herrschaftszeichen as well as
the development of 'coronation studies' are addressed in a
comparative framework. The second part contains articles on social
and political history mainly of the kingdom of Hungary in the
fifteenth century, also attempting to place the issues into a wider
context. Finally, two pieces present and discuss the 'use' or
'abuse' of the Middle Ages in the political discourse and display
of our times.
