Outline of Final Research Achievements

Taking the Luxembourg family Car IV as an example, I tried to elucidate political issues, governing ideas, and the world of faith from the worship of saints of the medieval monarch. I considered his intentions in view of Karl's tendency to collect relics recorded in the chronicles, and also analyzed the reasons for the selection of the saint monarch in the murals of the Oratory of the Holy Cross in Karlstejn Castle. He placed the saint monarchs of England, Scandinavia, Hungary, Arles, etc. in the same way as Charlemagne, who placed it in the center of the mural painting, and drew the image of reigning in the north, south, east and west world centered on the Czech kingdom and the empire. I concluded that. In addition, the effects of various acts associated with the reverence of saints by Karl on the political activities of the aristocrats and clergy who make up the ruling class of the territorial state were examined in comparison with the previous dynasty.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

中世ヨーロッパの君主の政治的課題や統治理念を、①方法論的には、近年の美術史研究の成果を取り込みつつ、宮廷儀礼空間を装飾する聖人画群から検討したこと、②その成果として、年代記などの叙述史料には記録されづらい君主の世界観（天上に準えた地上世界）および、その中での自身の位置づけ（地上世界の中心に君臨する皇帝像）を明らかにしたこと、その2点に学術的な意義がある。
