Description
The new religious orders of the 12th and 13th centuries - the military orders and the mendicants - were established as international orders. Yet they were inevitably dependent on regional and local conditions for recruitment and finance, and could not escape involvement in the power structures, whether secular or ecclesiastical, of the areas in which they were based. This book examines the tensions that arose from this, and how they evolved and were manifested. It looks in particular at the show more orders' early expansion, and at the special conditions that applied in frontier regions, notably those in Northern and Central Europe which have typically been less well studied. show lessTags
