| Abstract | This session examines aspects of the reign of Frederick II of Hohenstaufen (1194-1250), concentrating particularly upon his varied and troubled relations with the Church. Two papers focus upon the role of crusading, particularly on the crusades directed against Frederick both north and south of the Alps. They concentrate particularly upon the role of local and regional actors: the Lombard communes and the German princes and nobility. The third paper reassesses the sources and character of anti-ecclesiastical images in the circles close to the emperor, arguing for the value of concentrating upon tensions between central and local models of Church reform. |
