Note:A detailed study of the relationship between England and the papacy across its first five centuries, from the times of Bede up to the Norman Conquest. It reassesses that relationship through a detailed study of a hitherto understudied corpus of papal documentary sources. It sets developments in England within a wider comparative European context.
