Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book navigates the medieval German legal and ecclesiastical landscape by examining the issue of the right to bear the imperial sword as defined under the 'Golden Bull' of 1356. Through investigation into the 1357 Diet of Metz, the author shows the decree did not intend to make any definitive legal claim regarding the right to bear the sword - a claim which would come to be contested between the Saxon Duke Rudolf and Luxembourg's Wenzel. The work offers a unique opportunity to understand the legal intricacies of the era and the complex relationship between the Holy Roman Emperor and the nobility.
