Dissolving Royal Marriages adopts a unique chronological and
geographical perspective to present a comparative overview of royal
divorce cases from the Middle Ages through to the Reformation
period. Drawing from original translations of key source documents,
the book sheds new light on some of the most prominent and elite
divorce proceedings in Western history, including Henry VIII's
divorce from Catherine of Aragon. The comprehensive commentary that
accompanies these materials allows readers to grasp, for the first
time, how the constructs of canon law helped shape the legal
arguments on which specific cases were founded, and better
understand the events that actually unfolded in the courtrooms. In
his case-by-case exploration of elaborate witness statements,
extensive legal negotiations and political wrangling, d'Avray shows
us how little the canonical law for the dissolution of marriage
changed over time in this fascinating new study of Church-state
relations and papal power over princes.
