As Cardinal Hugo and as pope, Gregory was one of the dominant
figures in the history of the papacy of the High Middle Ages.
Coming to prominence under Pope Innocent III, Hugo played an
important political role, particularly as legate on various
occasions, as well as being a major promoter of the new religious
orders. As pope, his battle with Emperor Frederick II is one of
medieval history's most absorbing conflicts. But he also acted as
peacemaker, promoter of the Crusades, instigator of mission for the
sake of conversion, refomer of the Curia, patron of arts and
liturgy, and as a passionate advocate of Church reform. His
decretal collection, the Liber Extra, was the most influential of
the Middle Ages. A full examination of Gregory's pontificate is
very long overdue. The current volume brings together a team of
international scholars, each of them expert in dealing with a
particular aspect of the pontificate, and provides what will be a
collection of studies of lasting scholarly value on a central
figure of the medieval papacy.
