Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

A history of western Europe from ca 1050 to ca 1500. The lectures will follow principally the themes of politics and religion, as befits an era that begins with the eleventh-century ecclesiastical reform movements and the investiture controversy (Investitursstreit) and ends with a late medieval church in crisis, on the eve of the Protestant Reformation.

Assessment and permitted materials

Final exam (written)

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

The course aims not so much at conveying facts (although facts exist, are important, and students will be tested on some facts) as to introduce students to models and theories that historians use to look at long-term processes or moments in Western European History.

Examination topics

Lecture and discussion (with some introduction to contemporary sources), iconographic documentation through Powerpoint.

Reading list

Barbara Rosenwein, A Short History of the Middle Ages (Peterborough, 2005); Bernd Schneidmüller, Grenzerfahrung und monarchische Ordnung. Europa 1200-1500 (München, 2011).
