Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book tells the story of Wernher, Bishop of Strasbourg from 1001. Although not born in Alsace, he left an indelible mark on this region during his episcopate. The author draws a parallel between Wernher and Conrad de Lichtenberg, another Bishop who became a close ally of the Holy Roman Emperor two and half centuries later. Both Wernher and Conrad wielded great influence in imperial politics and ecclesiastical councils. Their careers highlight the complex relationship between spiritual and temporal power in the Middle Ages. The author provides a detailed analysis of a charter granted to Wernher by Emperor Henry II in 1017, giving him exclusive hunting rights over a vast territory in Alsace. This charter offers a fascinating glimpse into the social and political landscape of the region at that time. The author skillfully weaves together historical facts and insights into the life and times of Wernher, shedding light on the challenges and triumphs of a powerful bishop in the tumultuous era of the early Middle Ages.
