In medieval Europe, the death of a king could not only cause a
dispute about the succession, but also a severe crisis. 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 Bischofe") is presented in English
translation for the first time."
