There has been a tendency to the view the history of the early
medieval papacy predominantly in ideological terms, which has
resulted in the over-exaggeration of the idea of the papal
monarchy. In this study, first published in 1979, Jeffrey Richards
questions this view, arguing that whilst the papacy's power and
responsibility grew during the period under discussion, it did so
by a series of historical accidents rather than a coherent radical
design. The title redresses the imbalance implicit in the
monarchical interpretation, and emphasizes other important
political, administrative and social aspects of papal history. As
such it will be of particular value to students interested in the
history of the Church; in particular, the development of the early
medieval papacy, and the shifting policies and characteristics of
the popes themselves.
