"The Republic of St. Peter" seeks to reclaim for central Italy
an important part of its own history. Noble's thesis is at once
original and controversial: that the Republic, an independent
political entity, was in existence by the 730s and was not a
creation of the Franks in the 750s.Noble examines the political,
economic, and religious problems that impelled the central
Italians--and a succession of resolute popes--to seek emancipation
from the Byzantine Empire. He delineates the social structures and
historical traditions that produced a distinctive political
society, describes the complete governmental apparatus of the
Republic, and provides a comprehensive assessment of the
Franco-papal alliance.
