His research interests focus on medieval concepts of power and rule, particularly in Central and Eastern Europe. He specializes in the historiography of the 12th and 13th centuries, analyzing how chroniclers in England, Poland, and the Holy Roman Empire conceptualized good and bad rulership. His work emphasizes comparative approaches, dynastic legitimacy, and the cultural memory of political structures, especially concerning the Teutonic Order and Polish-German relations. He has extensively studied the reception of medieval institutions in modern times.
His publications reveal a strong trend toward editorial and monographic scholarship in medieval political and cultural history. He has published with leading academic publishers such as Brill and Harrassowitz, and his works often explore themes of legitimacy, imperial ideology, and cross-cultural perception in medieval narrative sources.
