The book investigates a riveting, richly documented conflict from
thirteenth-century England over church property and ecclesiastical
patronage. Oliver Sutton, the bishop of Lincoln, and John St John,
a royal household knight, both used coveted papal provisions to
bestow the valuable church of Thame to a familial clerical
candidate (a nephew and son, respectively). Between 1292 and 1294
three people died over the right to possess this church benefice
and countless others were attacked or publicly scorned during the
conflict. More broadly, religious services were paralyzed, prized
animals were mutilated, and property was destroyed. Ultimately, the
king personally brokered a settlement because he needed his knight
for combat. Employing a microhistorical approach, this book uses
abundant episcopal, royal, and judicial records to reconstruct this
complex story that exposes in vivid detail the nature and limits of
episcopal and royal power and the significance and practical
business of ecclesiastical benefaction. This volume will appeal to
undergraduate and graduate students alike, particularly students in
historical methods courses, medieval surveys, upper-division
undergraduate courses, and graduate seminars. It would also appeal
to admirers of microhistories and people interested in issues
pertaining to gender, masculinity, and identity in the Middle Ages.
