Against the background of the struggle between Christianity and
Islam for the control of the Spanish Peninsula, this book examines
the internal condition of the Spanish Church in the thirteenth
century, its relations with the Christian kings and with a
succession of great popes. Concentrating upon Aragon and Castile,
the author examines the reaction and resistance of the Church to
the reforming decrees of the 1215 Fourth Lateran Council, and
illustrates the attempts made by the papacy to wrest control of the
Church from the crown. By using hitherto untouched Spanish sources
as well as material from the Vatican, Dr Linehan is able to throw
new light on economic and social problems, and to challenge
effectively the conception that the Spanish Church was wealthy and
influential. As well as being important for scholars of medieval
Spain, this book provides essential comparative material for all
historians of the medieval Church.
