From the establishment of a coherent doctrine on sacramental
marriage to the eve of the Reformation, late medieval church courts
were used for marriage cases in a variety of ways. Ranging widely
across Western Europe, including the Upper and Lower Rhine regions,
England, Italy, Catalonia, and Castile, this study explores the
stark discrepancies in practice between the North of Europe and the
South. Wolfgang P. Muller draws attention to the existence of
public penitential proceedings in the North and their absence in
the South, and explains the difference in demand, as well as
highlighting variations in how individuals obtained written
documentation of their marital status. Integrating legal and
theological perspectives on marriage with late medieval social
history, Muller addresses critical questions around the
relationship between the church and medieval marriage, and what
this reveals about both institutions.
