This book explores how eleventh- and twelfth-century Anglo-Norman
ecclesiastical authors attributed anger to kings in the exercise of
their duties, and how such attributions related to larger
expansions of royal authority. It argues that ecclesiastical
writers used their works to legitimize certain displays of royal
anger, often resulting in violence, while at the same time
deploying a shared emotional language that also allowed them to
condemn other types of displays. These texts are particularly
concerned about displays of anger in regard to suppressing revolt,
ensuring justice, protecting honor, and respecting the status of
kingship. In all of these areas, the role of ecclesiastical and lay
counsel forms an important limit on the growth and expansion of
royal prerogatives.
