Drawing on an extensive study of the primary sources, Damian Smith
explores the relationship between the Roman Curia and
Aragon-Catalonia in the late 12th and early 13th centuries. His
focus is the pontificate of Innocent III, the most politically
influential medieval Pope, and the reign of King Peter II of Aragon
and the first years of King James I. By analysing the practical
example of papal actions towards one of its closest secular allies,
the work deepens our understanding of the objectives and limits of
the Papacy, while making clear the Pope's profound influence on the
realm's political development. Marriage affairs and politics, the
Spanish Reconquista, with the campaign of Las Navas, and the
Albigensian Crusade, in which King Peter met his death at the
battle of Muret, are all covered. The final chapters turn more
specifically to Church affairs, looking at the relations between
the papacy and the bishops of the province of Tarragona, and at the
success of Innocent III's mission to reform religious life.
