路德维希二世名号和东法兰克政治变迁

The Title of Ludwig Ⅱ and the Political Changes in East Francia

东法兰克国王路德维希二世拥有多种不同名号,体现出使用者对相应名号背后政权形态的不同想象。根据对路德维希自己所接受的“巴伐利亚国王”“东法兰克国王”等头衔的研究,可以看到名号与东法兰克政治变迁和国家升格的对应关系。通过与路德维希二世名号几种他人表达形式的对比,可以进一步认识到中古早期法兰克政权存在与古典日耳曼和近代德意志不同的政治形态,因而路德维希二世政权及其民族特性的认定也宜重新评估。

King Ludwig Ⅱ of East Francia was mentioned by many different titles throughout his reign,reflecting different imaginations of the regime.An examination of the titles accepted by Ludwig himself,such as"King of Bavaria"and"King of East Francia",reveals the correlations between these titles and the political changes in East Francia.A comparative analysis of the titles accepted by Ludwig Ⅱ with the titles used only by other people reveals the differences between the early medieval Frankish regime and both classical Germania and modern Deutschland.Accordingly,the reign and ethnic identity of King Ludwig Ⅱ should be re-evaluated.
