The Republic of St. Peter : The Birth of the Papal State, 68-825 Paperback / softback
by Thomas F. X. Noble
Part of the The Middle Ages Series series
Paperback / softback
Description
The Republic of St. Peter seeks to reclaim for central Italy an important part of its own history.
Noble's thesis is at once original and controversial: that the Republic, an independent political entity, was in existence by the 730s and was not a creation of the Franks in the 750s. Noble examines the political, economic, and religious problems that impelled the central Italians—and a succession of resolute popes—to seek emancipation from the Byzantine Empire.
He delineates the social structures and historical traditions that produced a distinctive political society, describes the complete governmental apparatus of the Republic, and provides a comprehensive assessment of the Franco-papal alliance.
