Description
Summary:The medieval myth of the Emperor of the Last Days, closely linked conceptually with the Pauline archetype of the Katechon, played an important role in the propaganda narratives and political prophecy of the Holy Roman Empire from the mid-twelfth cen­tury onwards. Specifically, the political theology of the Christian universal monarchy as the heir of Rome was linked to the eschatology of the Katechon. In this essay we will address three moments in which the myth of the Emperor of the Last Days played a prominent role in the imperial discourse: the period of the Hohenstaufen, the Roman revolution of Cola di Rienzo and the time of the first Habsburgs.
El mito medieval del Emperador de los Últimos Tiempos, estrechamente vinculado conceptualmente con el arquetipo paulino del Katechon, jugó un papel importante en las narrativas propagandísticas y la profecía política del Sacro Imperio Romano a partir de mediados del siglo XII. En concreto, la teología política de la Monarquía universal cris­tiana como heredera de Roma estuvo vinculada con la escatología del Katechon. En este ensayo abordaremos tres momentos en los que el mito del Emperador de los Últimos Tiempos jugó un papel destacado en el discurso imperial: el periodo de los Hohenstau­fen, la revolución romana de Cola di Rienzo y la época de los primeros Habsburgo.
