ROM Und Die Regionen : Studien Zur Homogenisierung Der Lateinischen Kirche Im Hochmittelalter

From the middle of the 11th century to Pope Innocent III (1198-1216), the Latin Church developed into a European-wide Papal Church, with a strong hierarchy focused on Rome. Retrospectively, this historical development appears to have proceeded according to a preconceived plan. In reality, however - as illuminated in this work - it was driven by a complex process of give and take between Rome and the regions.
