Robert Winchelsey and the Crown 1294–1313 : A Study in the Defence of Ecclesiastical Liberty

Omtale

This is the first detailed study of the career of one of the most important medieval archbishops of Canterbury. Robert Winchelsey sought to defend ecclesiastical rights and liberties at a time when the English Church was under constant pressure from the king and his government, and he suffered suspension from office as a result of his opposition to Edward I.
