England and Europe in the Reign of Henry III (1216–1272)
The close political, economic and cultural ties that developed between England and its neighbours were a defining feature of the rule of Henry III, which permeated nearly all levels of society from the king and his barons to the Church and merchants, artisans and fortune hunters. They were evident both in the high politics of Henry III, as well as in the more general cultural developments, as can be seen in the French architecture, Italian masonry and German goldwork of Westminster Abbey. They can likewise be traced with regard to individuals such as Simon de Montfort, whose family was active in the Holy Land, Languedoc, Northern France and England. In short, thirteenth century England formed part of a broader European cultural, political and economic commonwealth. The essays that form this volume demonstrate the variety and strength of these contacts between England and her neighbours during Henry's reign, and by seeking to place Henry's England within a broader geographical and thematic range, will contribute to a broader understanding of England's place within thirteenth century Europe.

The King's Two Maps
While a culture may have a dominant way of \"mapping,\" its geography is always plural, and there is always competition among conceptions of space. Beginning with this understanding, this book traces the map's early development into an emblem of the state, and charts the social and cultural implications of this phenomenon. This book chronicles the specific technologies, both material and epistemological, by which the map shows itself capable of accessing, organizing, and reorienting a tremendous range of information.

Stephen Langton: Erzbischof von Canterbury im England der Magna Carta (1207-1228)
In historical research, Stephen Langton is primarily known as a Parisian master of theology. This biography is dedicated to Langton's works as archbishop of Canterbury (1207-1228). His pontificate coincided with a period of political crisis in England, most notably the conflicts leading to the Magna Carta and its aftermath. This study sets out to show how Langton actively helped negotiate the Magna Carta: first, as an intercessor for the English barons and then by acting as a mediator between King John and the rebels. Furthermore, he was significantly involved in restoring the powers of kingship on the basis of the Magna Carta during the years of Henry III's minority after the civil war. Langton's politics paint the picture of an archbishop whose policies were based on principles he had laid out in his theological writings before. Apart from Langton's political role, this study also explores Langton's pastoral and administrative commitments as bishop and baron.Stephen Langton ist der historischen Forschung in erster Linie als Pariser Magister der Theologie bekannt. Die Biographie widmet sich nun seinem Wirken als Erzbischof von Canterbury (1207-1228). Sein Pontifikat fiel in eine krisenhafte Periode der englischen Geschichte, die insbesondere vom Kampf um die Magna Carta geprägt war. Die Studie zeigt anschaulich, wie der Erzbischof Langton zunächst als Fürsprecher der englischen Barone, später als Vermittler zwischen König Johann Ohneland und den Rebellen mageblich zur Entstehung der Magna Carta beitrug und während der Minderjährigkeit Heinrichs III. half, die Königsherrschaft nach dem Bürgerkrieg in den Grenzen der Magna Carta wiederzuerrichten. Seine Politikgestaltung war dabei geprägt von politischen Grundsätzen, die er zuvor als Theologe formuliert hatte. Neben seinem politischen Engagement nimmt die detaillierte Untersuchung auch seine pastoralen und administrativen Verpflichtungen als Bischof und Baron in den Blick.
