Title: Medieval sovereignty
First published: 2007
Description: "Medieval Sovereignty examines the idea of sovereignty in the Middle Ages and asks if it can be considered a fundamental element of medieval constitutional order. Francesco Maiolo analyzes the writings of Marsilius of Padua (1275/80 1342/43) and Bartolous of Saxoferrato (1314 57). Both authors are credited with having provided the legal justification for medieval popular government. Maiolo's reconsideration of this alleged primacy is an important addition to current medieval studies."--Jacket.
