The period from 1066 to 1272, from the Norman Conquest to the death
of Henry III, was one of enormous political change in England and
of innovation in the Church as a whole. Religion, Politics and
Society 1066-1272 charts the many ways in which a constantly
changing religious culture impacted on a social and political
system which was itself dominated by clerics, from the parish to
the kingdom. Examining the various ways in which churchmen saw
their relation to secular power, Henry Mayr-Harting introduces many
of the great personalities of the time, such as Thomas Becket and
Robert Grosseteste. At the same time he shows how religion itself
changed over the course of two centuries, in response to changing
social conditions aEURO" how rising population fuelled the economic
activities of the monasteries, and how parish reform demanded a
more educated clergy and by this increased the social prestige of
the Church. Written by an acknowledged master in the field, this
magisterial account will be an unmissable read for all students of
Norman and Plantagenet England and of the history of the medieval
Church as a political, social and spiritual force.
