The sources translated here bring to life the activities of five noblemen and noblewomen from Rome to the Baltic coast and from the Rhine River to the Alpine valleys of Austria. To read these five sources together is to appreciate how interconnected political, military, economic, religious and spiritual interests could be for some of the leading members of medieval German society-and for the authors who wrote about them. Whether fighting for the emperor in Italy, bringing Christianity to pagans in what is today northern Poland, or founding, reforming and governing monastic communities in the heartland of the German kingdom, the subjects of these texts call attention to some of the many ways that noble life shaped the world of central medieval Europe.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e‘This is a rich collection and, like other volumes in the Manchester stable, destined to become a staple of many undergraduate courses.’\u003cbr\u003eJohanna Dale, University College London, \u003ci\u003eThe Medieval Review\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'\u003c\/i\u003eA beautiful book, and a solid working tool'.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchrifttum\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e -- .\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003eI The deeds of Margrave Wiprecht of Groitzsch (d. 1124), \u003ci\u003etranslated, annotated and introduced by Jonathan R.
