Kings and Bishops in Medieval England, 1066-1216 by Roger Wickson
This introductory text, the first of its kind, explores the central relationship between the kings of England and their bishops, from the Norman Conquest to the Magna Carta. Wickson provides an approachable overview of the scholarship on this key subject, making this an ideal starting-point for anyone who is studying high medieval England.
'A lively read, making its way around some controversial points persuasively and judiciouslyThe author's enthusiasm for his subject shines through on every page.' - David Bates, University of East Anglia, UK 'Roger Wickson's very readable synthesis of early medieval England's two estates, the crown and the church, makes no assumptions about its readers' knowledge but leaves them with a clear and detailed understanding of how a different world of kings and their special advisors, the bishops, really worked. For the student and general reader he is concise without being over-simplified, and he tells a good story, often with apposite parallels to the modern world.' - Philip Morgan, Keele University, UK
Roger Wickson was formerly Headmaster of The King's School, Chester, UK and taught medieval history to A-Level students for many years. He has recently retired from teaching Continuing Education classes at Keele University, UK.
