Internationales Kolloquium. Aus dem Ankündigungstext der Veranstalter: «The study of Visigothic kingship has a long and respectable tradition. On the one hand, scholars have scrutinized the numerous normative texts from the Visigothic kingdom to recover the legal foundations of kingship and the institutions surrounding kings (court, councils, army). As a corollary, a robust series of studies that combine normative and historical texts have explored the interactions between kings and magnates and kings and bishops in what can be described as the kingdom’s “high politics.” On the other hand, scholars have combined the study of normative texts with theological treatises or descriptions of rituals to discuss cultural traditions of the post-imperial world. As a result, Visigothic kingship has been presented as having evolved from a supposed ancestral form of Gothic or Germanic kingship, as resulting from the transformation of Roman rulership, or as having developed Christian ideas of government.
