At the Edge of Reformation springs from Peter Linehan's continuing
interest in the history of Spain and Portugal, on this occasion in
the first half of the fourteenth century between the recovery of
each kingdom from widespread anarchy and civil war and the onset of
the Black Death. Focussing on ecclesiastical aspects of the period
in that region (Galicia in particular) and secular attitudes to the
privatisation of the church, it raises inter alios the question why
developments there did not lead to a permanent sundering of the
relationship with Rome (or Avignon) two centuries ahead of that
outcome elsewhere in the West. In addressing such issues, as well
as of neglected archival material in Spanish and Portuguese
archives, Linehan makes use of the also unpublished so-called
'secret' registers of the popes of the period. The issues this
volume raises ought to be of interest not only to students of
Spanish and Portuguese society but also to those interested in the
developing relationship further afield of the components of the
eternal quadrilateral (pope, king, episcopate, and secular
nobility) in late medieval Europe as well as of the activity in
that period of the secular-minded sapientes. In this context,
attention is given to the hitherto neglected attempt of Afonso IV
of Portugal to appropriate the privileges of the primatial church
of his kingdom and to the glorification of his Castilian son-in-law
as God's vice-gerent in his.
