In 1214, King John issued a charter granting freedom of election to
the English Church; henceforth, cathedral chapters were,
theoretically, to be allowed to elect their own bishops, with
minimal intervention by the crown. Innocent III confirmed this
charter and, in the following year, the right to electoral freedom
was restated at the Fourth Lateran Council. In consequence, under
Henry III and Edward I the English Church enjoyed something of a
golden age of electoral freedom, during which the king might
influence elections, but ultimately could not control them. Then,
during the reigns of Edward II and Edward III, papal control over
appointments was increasingly asserted and from 1344 onwards all
English bishops were provided by the pope. This book considers the
theory and practice of free canonical election in its heyday under
Henry III and Edward I, and the nature of and reasons for the
subsequent transition to papal provision. An analysis of the
theoretical evidence for this subject (including canon law, royal
pronouncements and Lawrence of Somercote's remarkable 1254 tract on
episcopal elections) is combined with a consideration of the means
by which bishops were created during the reigns of Henry III and
the three Edwards. The changing roles of the various participants
in the appointment process (including, but not limited to, the
cathedral chapter, the king, the papacy, the archbishop and the
candidate) are given particular emphasis. In addition, the English
situation is placed within a European context, through a comparison
of English episcopal appointments with those made in France,
Scotland and Italy. Bishops were central figures in medieval
society and the circumstances of their appointments are of great
historical importance. As episcopal appointments were also
touchstones of secular-ecclesiastical relations, this book
therefore has significant implications for our understanding of
church-state interactions during the thirteenth and fourteenth
centu
In recent years, the geopolitical rivalry between Saudi Arabia and
Iran has dominated the headlines. Many have charted the
polarisation between a Saudi-led Sunni camp and an Iranian-led Shia
one, assuming that a predominantly Shia state like Iraq would
automatically ally with Iran. In this compelling account, Katherine
Harvey tells a different story: Iraq's alignment with Iran was not
a foregone conclusion. Rather, Saudi efforts to undermine Iran have
paradoxically empowered it. Harvey investigates why the Saudis
refused to engage with Iraq's post-2003 Shia-led government,
despite continual outreach by Iraq's new leaders and considerable
pressure from the United States. She finds that certain deeply
ingrained assumptions predisposed Saudi leaders to see a Shia-led
Iraq as naturally beholden to Iran: the view that Iran is
inherently expansionist, and the belief that Arab Shia tend to be
loyal to it. This outlook was simplistic, even downright
inaccurate; and, in refusing to engage, the Saudis created a
self-fulfilling prophecy. As Harvey demonstrates, members of Iraq's
new government initially sought to establish a positive
relationship with Saudi Arabia, and to pursue a course independent
from Iran. But, isolated and rejected by Saudi King Abdullah, Iraq
ultimately had nowhere else to turn.

Fourteenth Century England has quickly established for itself a
deserved reputation for its scope and scholarship and for admirably
filling a gap in the publication of medieval studies. HISTORY
Drawing on a diverse range of documentary, literary and material
evidence, the contributors to this volume examine several
inter-related topics on political, social and cultural matters in
late medieval England. Aspects of both arms production and
armigerous society are explored, from the emergence of royal
armourers in the early fourteenth century to the social
implications of later armour and armorial bearings. Another major
focus is the church and religion more broadly. The nature and
significance of the ceremonial entry, the adventus, of bishops is
explored, as well as the legal impact of provisions in shaping
church-state relations in mid-century. Religious constructsof women
are considered in a comparative analysis of orthodox and Lollard
texts. Finally, a group of papers looks at aspects of politics at
the centre, with an examination of the queenship of Isabella of
France and the issue of the Mortimer inheritance in the early years
of Richard II. J.S. Hamilton is Professor and Chair, Department of
History, Baylor University. Contributors: Beth Allison Barr, Philip
Caudrey, Katherine Harvey, Mark King, Malcolm Mercer, Shelagh
Mitchell, Lisa Benz St John, Charlotte Whatley

The medieval humoral system of medicine suggested that it was
possible to die from having too much – or too little – sex,
while the Roman Catholic Church taught that virginity was the ideal
state. Holy men and women committed themselves to lifelong
abstinence in the name of religion. Everyone was forced to conform
to restrictive rules about whom they could have sex with, in what
way, how often, and even when, and could be harshly punished for
getting it wrong. Other experiences are more familiar. Like us,
medieval people faced challenges in finding a suitable partner or
trying to get pregnant (or trying not to). They also struggled with
many of the same social issues, such as whether prostitution should
be legalized. Above all, they shared our fondness for dirty jokes
and erotic images. By exploring their sex lives, the book brings
ordinary medieval people to life, and reveals details of their most
personal thoughts and experiences. Ultimately, it provides us with
an important and intimate connection to the past.
