Henry II: References & Edit History

G. Barraclough, The Origins of Modern Germany, 2nd rev. ed. (1947), ch. 3; and R. Holtzmann, Geschichte der sächsischen Kaiserzeit, 900–1024, 3rd ed. (1955), pp. 383–487, present Henry II according to accepted modern scholarly opinion. W.v.d. Steinen, Kaiser Heinrich der Zweite der Heilige (1924), is romantic but unusually sensitive to later medieval opinion. T. Shieffer, “Heinrich II und Konrad II,” Deutsches Archiv, 8:384–437 (1951), supplies the necessary critical revision of modern research.
