Marie Luise Bulst-Thiele

Marie Luise Bulst-Thiele , also Marie Luise Bulst, née Thiele, (* 1906 , † 1992 ) was a German medieval historian and philologist for Latin literature of the Middle Ages.

Life

Bulst-Thiele dealt with the Knights Templar and wrote a biography of the Empress Agnes von Poitou , about which she also wrote the article in the Lexicon of the Middle Ages . The book about Agnes originated from the dissertation at the University of Göttingen in 1933. She was Percy Ernst Schramm's first doctoral student in Göttingen.

She had been married to Walther Bulst (1899–1986) since 1932 , who had been Professor of Medieval Latin Philology in Heidelberg since 1958. With him she published the Libellus de locis sanctis by Theodericus (Theoderic) in 1976 , a book for pilgrims to the Holy Places in Jerusalem from the 12th century (pilgrimage around 1170) by a German cleric, and letters and the Ludus Danielis Belouacensis des Hilarius Aurelianensis (Brill, Leiden 1989). In 1986, she was the Opuscula of St. John of Frankfurt out. She also edited the Villon translation by Walther Küchler (Wissenschaftliche Buchgesellschaft, 5th edition 1997). She wrote various articles for the author's lexicon , including about Wilhelm von Boldensele .

In her research on the Knights Templar she saw the fall of the order as part of the plan of the French King Philip the Fair to overthrow the papacy. The representative (visitator) of the Templar Order for France Hugues de Pairaud , who was later sentenced to life imprisonment at the Templar trials, was probably secretly on the side of the French king. The Templars were very powerful and respected in Italy and were still held in high esteem by Pope Boniface VIII - his only domestic servants who did not flee in the Anagni assassination organized by the French king in 1303 were a Templar and a hospital knight and also after Relatively few Templars were tried in Italy when the Templars were overthrown. With the Templars, Philip the Fair wanted to eliminate a protective power of the Pope and to consolidate his power over the Pope - under the French Pope Clement V , who was under his control , not only was the Knights Templar destroyed, but the Popes also moved from Rome to Avignon and were thus closer in the sphere of influence of the French king (beginning of the Avignon papacy ).

She had four sons with Walther Bulst, including Neithard Bulst (* 1941), a history professor in Bielefeld.
