Description
The concept of sovereignty has its roots in medieval thought. Andrew Latham explores how ideas about supreme political authority emerged during the high medieval period, tracing their development to the thirteenth century. A key moment in this historical evolution is the rise of a "dualist-regnalist" model, where supreme authority was vested exclusively in the king, held directly from God or "the people," without papal or imperial mediation. This approach challenges traditional accounts that place sovereignty in the early modern era. By examining medieval theologians, philosophers, and jurists, Latham provides a new understanding of sovereignty and its connection to the intellectual tradition of the time.
