Pierre de la Palud was a friar of aristocratic birth who was
appointed Patriarch of Jerusalem in 1329. This biography follows
the course of his eventful life, and exploits his copious writings
to build up a vivid picture of the man and the world he inhabited.
Lawyer, advocate, preacher, reformer, theologian, politician,
encyclopedist, crusader - Pierre was all of these; and the voice of
each can be heard in his writings. Jean Dunbabin's scholarly and
penetrating study traces the career of Pierre de la Palud from his
early reflections on contemporary moral issues, including papal
prerogatives, contraception, and usury, to his political and
diplomatic activities as Patriarch of Jerusalem. From Dominican
friar to French courtier, the variety of Pierre's experience and
the range of his writings reflect the turbulence of the
fourteenth-century Christian church.
