The answer is found not in the supposed failures of German kingship, but instead in the creative aristocratic successes of the secular dynasties and princes of the Church. We see how their collective efforts in the centuries after 1050 added up to a more markedly territorial structure of regional power, already emerging by the thirteenth century as a result of their endeavours in the economy, internal and external colonization, and the establishment of new castles, towns, monasteries and communications; in local, ecclesiastical and imperial law, and the jurisdictional reform which they imposed in their regions; and in the uses of dynastic politics, including feuds as well as alliances, inheritance and partition. 517 3 $aPrinces & Territories in Medieval Germany 606 $aConstitutional history, Medieval 606 $aNobility$zGermany$xHistory$yTo 1500 607 $aGermany$xPolitics and government$yTo 1517 615 0$aConstitutional history, Medieval. 615 0$aNobility$xHistory 676 $a943 700 $aArnold$b Benjamin$0505040 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996247919103316 996 $aPrinces and territories in medieval Germany$9806883 997 $aUNISA 999 $aThis Record contains information from the Harvard Library Bibliographic Dataset, which is provided by the Harvard Library under its Bibliographic Dataset Use Terms and includes data made available by, among others the Library of Congress
