Short answers, pulled from the story.
Timothy Alan Reuter (the 25th of January 1947 - the 14th of October 2002) was a German-British historian who specialized in medieval Germany, particularly the social, military, and ecclesiastical institutions of the Ottonian and Salian periods, covering roughly the 10th through 12th centuries. He is best known for his monograph Germany in the Early Middle Ages, 800-1056, which remains the standard English-language survey of the subject.
Reuter was appointed to a professorship at the University of Southampton in 1994, where he remained until his death in 2002. Before that, he spent more than a decade as a Mitarbeiter at the Monumenta Germaniae Historica in Munich, and prior to that he lectured for ten years at the University of Exeter.
The University of Southampton established the annual Reuter Lecture in 2004 in memory of Timothy Reuter, two years after his death from brain cancer. The lecture honors his contributions to medieval history and scholarship.
Timothy Reuter's grandfather was Ernst Reuter, who served as mayor of Berlin. Reuter himself was born in Manchester on the 25th of January 1947.
Reuter's own monograph, Germany in the Early Middle Ages, 800-1056, was published in 1991. He translated Gerd Tellenbach's work on the medieval church into English (Cambridge, 1993), edited his mentor Karl Leyser's papers as Communications and Power in Medieval Europe (2 vols., 1992), and his own collected papers were published posthumously as Medieval Polities and Modern Mentalities (Cambridge, 2006).
At the time of his death from brain cancer on the 14th of October 2002, Reuter was working on a history of the medieval episcopacy. That book was never completed. His collected papers were later published posthumously in 2006.
