Abstract | The session is the first one of six sessions dealing with the various aspects of the rule of Emperor and King Sigismund of Luxemburg. The main emphasis is put on the ideological and theoretical issues aimed on creating a positive image of a ruler (Roman heritage, law-giver, and supporter of different legal systems, peace-maker and protector of the Church, propagator of the cult of saints). All the elements were required in order to obtain and keep the rule over an Empire composed of different and very specific kingdoms and units. |
