| Summary: | A century ago, when the first multi-tome Cambridge Medieval History was published, the three volumes stretching from the Investiture Contest to the closing of the Middle Ages were entitled Contest of Empire and Papacy, Victory of the Papacy, Decline of Empire and Papacy. The study of medieval history today is defined in less narrowly political terms, and the emotions, memories, and identities of non-elites would be considered subjects as worthy of study as ambitions for the governance of the world. Yet the intense struggles fought between the two powers, the exhaustion of the empire, the diminution of papal authority, and the rise of national monarchies are of undoubted importance in the shaping of the modern West and in its divisions of the religious and the secular. |
