Abstract | This session has its focus on King Manfred of Sicily (1250-1266), the last - and often overlooked - Hohenstaufen ruler in southern Italy. The first paper will give a bottom-up perspective on officials in the Regno and their connection to Manfred in particular. The second paper contextualises the king's famous Manifest to the Romans. The third paper reflects on what the recipients could expect from the charters of Frederick II by examining the ars dictaminis and how their rules were applied in the chancery of Frederick II - if they were at all. |
