Holy Bishops, Papal Canonisation and the Legitimisation of Power in Thirteenth-Century Norway and Poland
This article explores two mid-thirteenth-century attempts to canonise holy bishops from the so-called peripheries of Latin Christendom.

The article proposes a novel agenda-setting theoretical and methodological framework for how medievalists can study elite legitimation and relations between core European…

At the center of the image, as expected, is Christ ruling over the universe. Equally expected in the iconography of Maiestas Domini: Christ is accompanied by the symbols of the evangelists and by angels. The illumination, like most other medieval depictions of the he…
