This analysis of royal marriage cases across seven centuries
explains how and how far popes controlled royal entry into and
exits from their marriages. In the period between c.860 and 1600,
the personal lives of kings became the business of the papacy.
d'Avray explores the rationale for papal involvement in royal
marriages and uses them to analyse the structure of church-state
relations. The marital problems of the Carolingian Lothar II, of
English kings - John, Henry III, and Henry VIII - and other
monarchs, especially Spanish and French, up to Henri IV of France
and La Reine Margot, have their place in this exploration of how
canon law came to constrain pragmatic political manoeuvring within
a system increasingly rationalised from the mid-thirteenth century
on. Using documents presented in the author's Dissolving Royal
Marriages, the argument brings out hidden connections between legal
formality, annulments, and dispensations, at the highest social
level.
