  The Holy Roman Empire - A...

  The Holy Roman Empire traces its origins to a time of shifting power dynamics, spiritual authority, and the enduring legacy of Rome. It was neither wholly holy, Roman, nor an empire in the traditional sense, but it stood as a significant political and spiritual entity in European history for nearly a millennium. The story begins with the fall of the Western Roman Empire in 476 CE, which left a power vacuum in Europe. Centuries later, Charlemagne, King of the Franks, would revive the idea of a Roman imperium in the West. In the year 800, Pope Leo III crowned Charlemagne as Emperor of the Romans, symbolically linking his rule to the legacy of ancient Rome and establishing a precedent for divine sanction of imperial authority. 
  While Charlemagne’s empire did not last beyond his heirs, his imperial title endured in memory and ambition. The true foundations of the Holy Roman Empire, however, are often credited to Otto I, Duke of Saxony, who became King of East Francia in 936. Through military successes and strong alliances with the Church, Otto consolidated his power. In 962, he was crowned Emperor by Pope John XII, an act widely regarded as the formal beginning of the Holy Roman Empire. Otto’s coronation re-established the notion of a Christian emperor in the West and initiated a tradition that would persist for centuries. 
  This early period also marked the beginning of what would become a recurring struggle between secular rulers and the papacy for supremacy. The Investiture Controversy, though it would fully erupt later, had its roots in the growing tensions between emperors who believed they had the right to appoint bishops and popes who insisted on spiritual independence. This rivalry between church and state would shape the development of the empire’s political structure, often blurring the lines between religious and secular authority.

  Hallowed Ground examines the surprising traditions, customs, superstitions, and secular imagery found in Christian churches and churchyards, with a particular emphasis on the traditional rural protestant church.   Beginning with stories associated with the construction of church buildings themselves and the role that they played in the community, the book moves through a number of subjects where everything might not be as it would seem it should be in the Christian church and its grounds.   Expect vestiges of pagan symbols hidden in the fabric of the church building and clergymen rumored to hold strange arcane knowledge of their own, kept within their personal occult libraries. Learn the ways in which you can use the church and its grounds to divine who might die in the next twelve months, where you might find love, and how you might cure illnesses.   Watch out for a number of figures you wouldn’t expect to find on such holy ground, from run-ins with the devil to spectral figures inhabiting the church or its graves. Discover some of the ways in which magic and witchcraft seep into the hallowed ground of the churchyard from outside.  Hallowed Ground will offer more than a few surprises about the folklore that surrounds the church and churchyard and a fascinating insight into the social history of our place of traditional Sunday worship, all delivered with the academic rigor and accessible, engaging style for which the author is known.
