The Conference attracted the greatest minds in the western world, as well as innumerable princes, lawyers and prostitutes.

Product Description:
As Turkish armies menaced a much divided Europe, all eyes looked to Germany's patient, charming but ruthless Emperor Sigismund to co-ordinate the resistance. At Christmas 1414 he convened the conference at Constance where Europe's greatest thinkers and most eminent nobles discussed the future of Christendom. This book offers a new view of Constance as a turning-point in history which planted the seeds that were to flourish in later ages: of the Renaissance, Humanism and the Reformation.
Review:

Literary Review 'Destined to be one of the great standard histories of that astonishing continent... powerful and profound.' Andrew Roberts."
