Abstract

Paper -a will once again approach the relationship between the papacy and the Normans, a relationship which German scholars in particular have tended to describe as being feudal; paper -b analyses the charters of the notary, judge, and chronicler Falco of Benevento in order to come to a better understanding of his career and historiographical practice. Paper -c will discuss possibilities and limits in the reconstruction of the papal palace in Benevento which was destroyed in the 13th century during the struggle between emperor Frederick II and Pope Innocent IV.
