Daniel M. G. Gerrard

The Church at War: The Military Activities of Bishops, Abbots and Other Clergy in England, C. 900-1200

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This study addresses three main areas: which clergy engaged in military activity in England, why and when? By what means did they do so? And how did others react to these activities? The book shows that, however vivid such characters as Odo of Bayeux might be in the historical imagination, there was no archetypal militant prelate.
