Description

The papers in this session highlight the tension between royal and ecclesiastical authority in the Middle Ages, particularly between the Pope and kings. Other common threads between these papers include the persecution of the Templars in both France and England and issues of coronation and convocation. Taken together, these papers will enhance our understanding of the conflict and cooperation between medieval rulers and the Church.
