Michael Menzel reflects on Louis the Bavarian’s constitutional legacy, emphasising his role in establishing a genuine elective monarchy, free from papal interference. Although this was ultimately short-lived, Louis was certainly no ‘minor king’, as he was described.

Mikuláš Netík focuses on the ‘Appendix’ to the ‘Historia de expeditione Friderici imperatoris’, which is strongly connected to Leopold V of Austria. He analyses the strategies used to justify Leopold’s actions, who was excommunicated after capturing Richard the Lionheart.

Indeed, this is a major problem. But all articles of the Deutsches Archiv (and the older Neues Archiv) can be researched in our OPAC and we have a PDF of each article publicly available. As of now, the old "Archiv" (1819–1874) is still work in progress. (1/3)
And they're back! Readers can oncemore access our range of collection guides which give overviews to our collections as well as introductions to themes which run through them.
