ROM Und Die Regionen - Studien Zur Homogenisierung Der Lateinischen Kirche Im Hochmittelalter (German, Electronic book text)

From the middle of the 11th century to Pope Innocent III (1198 1216), the Latin Church developed into a European-wide Papal Church, with a strong hierarchy focused on Rome. Retrospectively, this historical development appears to have proceeded according to a preconceived plan. In reality, however as illuminated in this work it was driven by a complex process of give and take between Rome and the regions."
