LIVONIJA SVĒTAJĀ ROMAS IMPĒRIJĀ: PROBLĒMAS IZPĒTE UN ATTIECĪBU PIEMĒRS NO 16. GADSIMTA VIDUS. (Latvian)

LIVONIA IN THE HOLY ROMAN EMPIRE: CURRENT STAGE OF ANALYSIS AND THE CASE OF THE MID-16TH CENTURY. (English)

LIVONIA; EUROPE

The article is devoted to an issue that has not been sufficiently explored in comparison to other issues, i.e. the political links between Livonia and the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation in the middle of the 16th century. The main sources used in the study are the records of the Prussian duke's archive documents published by Stefan Hartmann. The aim of the article is to determine and evaluate the testimony found in the sources about the practical manifestation of the connection of Livonia with the Empire: which areas it can be detected in, how it was carried out and what was the attitude of contemporaries towards it. The obtained results are confronted with opinions on the emergence and the essence of the links between Livonia and the Empire as reflected in historical literature. Since these opinions mainly characterize the situation in the Middle Ages, the main focus is on the relationship aspects hereditary in the Middle Ages. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Raksts veltīts salīdzinoši maz pētītai problēmai -- politiskajām saitēm Livonijas un Vācu nācijas Svētās Romas impērijas starpā 16. gadsimta vidū. Kā galvenais avots pētījumā izmantoti Stefana Hartmana publicētie Prūsijas hercoga arhīva dokumentu regesti. Raksta mērķis ir fiksēt un izvērtēt avotos atrodamās liecības par to, kā praktiski izpaudās Livonijas saikne ar impēriju: kādās jomās tā konstatējama, kā tika praktizēta un kā laikabiedri pret to attiecās. Iegūtie rezultāti tiek konfrontēti ar vēstures literatūrā sastopamajiem viedokļiem par Livonijas un impērijas savstarpējo saišu rašanos un būtību. Tā kā tie pārsvarā analizē situāciju viduslaikos, uzmanība tiek pievērsta no viduslaikiem pārmantotajiem attiecību aspektiem. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
