This book is dedicated to an exceptional and almost forgotten figure of European medieval history, Queen Elisabeth of Luxembourg. Through the story of her life, the author of this volume examines one of the most dramatic periods of Hungarian medieval history (1437–1442), when after the death of Emperor Sigismund of Luxembourg, the kingdom lacked a strong monarch. Although the primary focus of this book is Queen Elisabeth, much attention is also paid to her husband, the Duke of Austria and the Roman-German King Albert II of Habsburg. The author reconstructs his short reign in the Kingdom of Hungary on the basis of hitherto unpublished sources, as well as Queen Elisabeth’s struggle for the Hungarian crown, which she finally won at the cost of her own life. Through the inclusion of discussions on topics such as the status of women, hygiene, medicine, piety, and travel, the author sheds light not just on the details of Elisabeth’s life, but also on life during this period of medieval history more generally.
Knowledge of the mechanisms and regulation of chloride, bicarbonate, and proton transport across cells and their membranes has become crucial to our understanding of many physiologic functions at both the cellular and systemic level. Cell pH and volume regulation and gastric, renal, ocular, and airway function are examples of processes that depend on the control and proper operation of anion and proton translocating mechanisms. Osmotic and metabolic functions of many plant and fungal cells also depend on these processes, and such systems have mechanisms in common with those found in animal cells. It has become evident that regulation of anion and proton transport at both cell and tissue leve...
