The Holy Roman Empire survived for over 1,000 years--and its institutions, ideas, and political divisions haunt Europe still. Starting with Charlemagne's coronation on Christmas day 800, and ending with the illegal suspension of the Empire by Francis II in 1806, this ambitious and comprehensive history examines the status of the Emperor, meaning of kingship and leadership, the Empire's structure, internal conflicts, and shifting centers of power, and ever present ideal of a united Europe.

The Medieval World : Europe 1100-1350

In 1100 Europe was open in boundaries, faith and outlook. By the middle of the fourteenth century it was 'closed'-by Mongol and Turkish invasions, by the rift with Byzantium, by the intolerant dogmatism of the Church. Friedrich Heer's tour de force of scholarship and originality recreates that world: the daily life of aristocrats and peasants, town-dwellers and countryfolk; the growth of serfdom and the flowering of chivalry; the roles of cleric and courtier, painter and poet, king and philosopher. In it we can see our own world in embryo. As Professor Heer writes: 'History is the present, the present is history'.
