The Antichrist and the Saint
Category: Medieval Europe
Антихристът и Светецът
Language: Bulgarian

This is a book about power, the pursuit of it, the conquest and its legal application in the thirteenth century. Two remarkable rulers are at the center of the text — Emperor Frederick II Hohenstaufen, rebuked by the Church and accused of Antichrist, and King Louis IX, canonized after his death as a saint. Two personalities acting in different circumstances, but both respecting law and justice, good administrators and participants in Crusades. Different, but also the same in the application of power.
