Major change occurred in the tenth century and again at the turn of the eleventh century. Given the scarcity of written sources, the author employs an analysis of architectural forms which she applies to buildings founded by dukes, kings, and nobles at this period.00Architecture serves as a reliable source of knowledge and can be successfully read as a text using comparative analysis, iconology, and semiotics. No piece of art appeared without an historical context: forms, functions, and styles are all documents created by its founders and creators. The conclusions of this research help us to understand the era that shaped the foundations of the Polish, Czech, and the Hungarian states.Beyond medieval Europe.ArchitectureCarolingians.Merovingians.Ottons.Piasts.Přemyslids.Salian dynasty.Strongholds.fortification.Árpáds.Architecture.720.9409021Graczynska Marta1693899Sobczak JoannaMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910824861503321Architecture and power in early Central Europe4072054UNINA
