Governance of outlying provinces of the early and high medieval
polities was never a favorite topic for either medieval chronicles
or modern medievalists. The book "Governance of a Distant Province
in the Middle Ages: Case Study on Upper Lusatia" by Krzysztof Fokt
aims at exploring this problem in a form of an "extreme case
study". The region chosen for closer analysis is Upper Lusatia,
which in the tenth through twelfth century was the furthest
pertinence of German kings in the Slavic world and for some time
also a distant province of other polities: Poland and Bohemia. The
study has been based upon both written and material (archeological
and numismatic) evidence, and tries to write some passages of the
history of the chosen region anew, without applying the stereotypes
present in the three national historiographies engaged (the German,
the Czech and the Polish). The main objectives of the book are to
identify and comment on the means that were used to effectively
govern a distant province and to recognize the factors which
influenced the strategies applied by particular monarchs and
territorial rulers. Substantial part of the work is also a detailed
analysis of the infrastructure of governance, based upon written
and material evidence from the eastern part Upper Lusatia (at
present divided between Poland and Germany). Preparation and
publication of this book was financially supported by the Faculty
of Law and Administration of the Jagiellonian University.
Publication of this book was subsidized by the Ministry of Science
and Higher Education of the Republic of Poland through the National
Program for Development of Humanities (NPRH) in the years
2016-2017.
