Ranging across all of Europe from the first to the sixteenth centuries--from Prague and Seville to Palermo and the Oslo Fjord--David Rollason examines how these places conveyed messages of power and what those messages were. Rollason draws on the latest research in a range of disciplines--principally archaeology, and the histories of art, architecture, and landscape, as well as historical and literary studies--to investigate what the power of rulers consisted of. Was their power based on impersonal bureaucratic mechanisms, on personal relationships between rulers and subjects, or on strong beliefs in the quasi-divine status of rulers? How did impressive edifices support and emphasize these practices of power? Rollason takes readers to spectacular sites, including the remarkable remains of the tenth-century city of Madinat al-Zahra near Cordoba, the remarkably preserved palace-church of the emperor Charlemagne in Aachen, and the soaring shrine-church of the Saint-Chapelle of King Louis IX. Giving readers the tools to analyze rulers' palaces, landscapes, cities, and holy places, The Power of Place offers a fascinating perspective on the development of power throughout history"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Palaces $z Europe $x History. 650 0 $a Landscapes $z Europe $x History. 650 0 $a Cities and towns $z Europe $x History. 650 0 $a Sacred space $z Europe $x History. 650 0 $a Historic sites $z Europe. 650 0 $a Architecture and state $z Europe $x History. 650 0 $a Power (Social sciences) $z Europe $x History. 651 0 $a Europe $x Homes and haunts. $x Homes and haunts. 651 0 $a Europe $x History, Local. 651 0 $a Europe $x Politics and government. 650 7 $a HISTORY $z Europe $x General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a ARCHITECTURE $x General. $x General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a HISTORY $x General. $x General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Architecture and state. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00813586 650 7 $a Cities and towns. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00861748 650 7 $a Historic sites. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00957846 650 7 $a Kings and rulers $x Homes and haunts. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00987708 650 7 $a Landscapes. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01735625 650 7 $a Palaces. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01051243 650 7 $a Politics and government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919741 650 7 $a Power (Social sciences) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01074219 650 7 $a Sacred space. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01103191 651 7 $a Europe. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01245064 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 $a Local history. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411631 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191211032540.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20161006012540.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5C2221308B8A11E6A6C758ADDAD10320 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
