Schwarz, Brigide

Born in 1940, Brigide Schwarz was Ordinary Professor of Medieval History at the Technical University of Hanover (Germany) from 1979 to 1998. Until her death in 2019, she was the leading expert in a field that has no real equivalent in Anglophone scholarship, perhaps best defined as the Socio-Economic History of the Late Medieval Papal Court (or Curia).
