The king's two bodies : a study in mediaeval political theology / by Kantorowicz, Ernst H.(Ernst Hartwig),1895-1963,author.(CARDINAL)330202; Leyser, Conrad,writer of introduction.; Jordan, William Chester,writer of preface.;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 515-530) and index."Originally published in 1957, this classic work has guided generations of scholars through the arcane mysteries of medieval political theology. Throughout history, the notion of two bodies has permitted the postmortem continuity of monarch and monarchy, as epitomized by the statement, "The king is dead. Long live the king." In The King's Two Bodies, Ernst Kantorowicz traces the historical dilemma posed by the "King's two bodies"--the body natural and the body politic--back to the Middle Ages. The king's natural body has physical attributes, suffers, and dies, as do all humans; however the king's spiritual body transcends the earth and serves as a symbol of his office as majesty with the divine right to rule. Bringing together liturgical works, images, and polemical material, Kantorowicz demonstrates how early modern Western monarchies gradually began to develop a political theology. Featuring a new introduction and preface, The King's Two Bodies is a subtle history of how commonwealths developed symbolic means for establishing their sovereignty and, with such means, began to establish early forms of the nation-state." --

Great castles of Europe [videorecording] / by McAlister, Victoria L.,presenter.;
Instructor, Victoria L. McAlister, Assistant Professor in the Department of History at Towson University.The castles of Europe are one of the glorious legacies of the Middle Ages. Beautiful and fascinating to explore, great castles dazzle us with their grandeur, and their power to evoke an age of lords and ladies, knights and peasants, battles and sieges. But beyond their architectural majesty and romantic allure, great castles offer much more. From the mighty fortresses of the Normans and the chateau of France to the crusader castles of the Mediterranean, great castles are invaluable, historical artifacts that give us an incredible window into the medieval world, in all its drama, passion, and human striving.
