St Anselm's archiepiscopal career, 1093-1109, spanned the reigns of
two kings: William Rufus and the early years of Henry I. As the
second archbishop of Canterbury after the Norman Conquest, Anselm
strove to extend the reforms of his teacher and mentor at Bec, and
his predecessor at Canterbury, Archbishop Lanfranc. Exploring
Anselm's thirty years as Prior and Abbot of the large, rich, Norman
monastery of Bec, and teacher in its school, this book notes the
wealth of experiences which prepared Anselm for his archiepiscopal
career--in particular Bec's missionary attitude toward England.
Sally Vaughn examines Anselm's intellectual strengths as a teacher,
philosopher and theologian: exploring his highly regarded
theological texts, including his popular Prayers and Meditations,
and how his statesmanship was influenced as he dealt with conflict
with the antagonistic King William Rufus. Vaughn argues that
Rufus's death influenced Anselm's rivalry with King Henry I and
fostered a more subdued and civil conflict between Anselm and Henry
which ended with cooperation between king and archbishop at the end
of Anselm's life. King and archbishop became'yoked together as two
oxen pulling the plow of the church through the land of England'.
Anselm's final years at the pinnacle of power reveal a superb
administrator over Canterbury and Primate over the churches of all
Britain, in which position his followers described him as 'Pope of
another world'. The final section includes a selection of original
source material including archiepiscopal letters drawn primarily
from Lambeth Palace Library.
