Description

Explore the life of one of the most influential bishops in medieval Europe with this definitive biography from Cambridge University Press. This work provides the first detailed narrative of Peter des Roches, a man who held power over the Plantagenet court for over thirty years. His influence was second only to the king, making him a central figure in the political landscape of his time.

By following his career, readers gain a deep understanding of the political history spanning the reigns of both King John and Henry III. It is an essential resource for those studying medieval history, political evolution, and the complex power structures of the 13th century.
