- Abstract
The dissertation by Frank Engel, titled "The Cologne Cathedral Chapter during the Time of Archbishop Dietrich II of Moers (1414-1463): Church Politics and Territorial Rule in the Northern Rhineland and Westphalia," examines the history of the Cologne Cathedral Chapter in the Late Middle Ages. Engel reconstructs the personnel of the chapter in the 15th century and analyzes the relationship between the cathedral chapter and Archbishop Dietrich II of Moers. He shows that the cathedral canons were primarily focused on the bishop and supported his aggressive intensification of rule. Only after military defeats and financial problems of the bishop did the cathedral chapter gain influence and become a co-regent in the diocese. The dissertation provides a thorough examination of the history of the Cologne Church and a reassessment of the relationship between the cathedral chapter and the bishop.
