This book examines the relationship between the royal monasteries
in tenth- and eleventh-century Germany and the German monarchs. It
focuses on the practical aspects of governing without a capital and
while constantly in motion, and on the payments and services that
monasteries provided to the king and that in turn supported the
king's travel economically and politically. It concludes that
German rulers did in fact make much greater use of their royal
monasteries than has hitherto been recognized.
