“So Poignant a Memory of the Past”
View through CrossRef
European trade, political order, and religious institutions deteriorated after 500 until kings emerged in the eighth century to command support as restorers of ancient Roman glory. Aided by principles of Christian kingship derived from Benedict’s Rule for monasteries, Charlemagne and his successors expanded the imagined reach of Pauline corporatism. Despite ongoing violence and disarray, the ideal of membership in Christ served as the basis for numerous forms of medieval organization, as well as for the imagined unity of Christendom. As written laws came increasingly to the fore to determine accountability to this ideal in the eleventh and twelfth centuries, cities developed their own systems of corporate governance, and appeals to corporate membership in Christ stimulated reform, innovation, and economic growth.
