This collection of essays from both established and emerging scholars analyses the dynamic connections between conflict and violence in medieval Italy. The contributors present a new critique of power that sustained both kingship and locally based elite networks throughout the Italian peninsula. A broad temporal range, covering the sixth to the twelfth centuries, allows this book to cross a number of 'traditional' fault-lines in Italian historiography - 774, 888, 962 and 1025. The essays provide wide-ranging analyses of the role of conflict in the period, the operation of power and the development of communal consciousness and collective action by individuals and groups. It is thus essential reading for scholars, students and general readers who wish to understand the situation in medieval Italy.

Troja zahlt zu den bekanntesten Mythen Europas. Die Autorin hinterfragt exemplarisch und vergleichend den in der historischen Forschung als selbstverstandlich vorausgesetzten Zusammenhang zwischen Mythos und Identitatsstiftung bzw. Herrschaftslegitimation. Sie untersucht die Bedingungen fur den Wandel und das Fortleben des Troja-Mythos im Mittelalter auf der Grundlage moderner Mythos-Theorien. Durch diese theoretische Neuverortung kommt neben den Herkunfts- und Grundungserzahlungen auch das breite Spektrum anderweitiger Bezuge auf den Troja-Stoff in den Blick. In synchroner wie diachroner Perspektive wird auf textimmanente, literarische und historische Aspekte eingegangen, wobei der Schwerpunkt auf der franzosischen, englischen und italienischen Historiographie des 12. Jahrhunderts liegt."
