The true importance of cathedrals during the Anglo-Norman period is
here brought out, through an examination of the most important
aspects of their history. Cathedrals dominated the ecclesiastical
(and physical) landscape of the British Isles and Normandy in the
middle ages; yet, in comparison with the history of monasteries,
theirs has received significantly less attention. This volume helps
to redress the balance by examining major themes in their
development between the eleventh and thirteenth centuries. These
include the composition, life, corporate identity and memory of
cathedral communities; the relationships, sometimes supportive,
sometimes conflicting, that they had with kings (e.g. King John),
aristocracies, and neighbouring urban and religious communities;
the importance of cathedrals as centres of lordship and patronage;
their role in promoting and utilizing saints' cults (e.g. that of
St Thomas Becket); episcopal relations; and the involvement of
cathedrals in religious and political conflicts, and in the
settlement of disputes. A critical introduction locates medieval
cathedrals in space and time, and against a backdrop of wider
ecclesiastical change in the period. Contributors: Paul Dalton,
Charles Insley, Louise J. Wilkinson, Ann Williams, C.P. Lewis,
