Description

This groundbreaking biography explores the life and political influence of Peter des Roches, one of medieval Europe's wealthiest and most powerful bishops. For over thirty years, des Roches wielded extraordinary authority over the Plantagenet court, second only to the king himself. His career shaped the political landscape across the reigns of both John and Henry III, leaving an indelible mark on English governance during a transformative period. This work presents the first detailed narrative examination of des Roches' activities alongside his fellow aliens, offering essential insight into how England and France developed as two separate kingdoms. Published by Cambridge University Press as part of the acclaimed Cambridge Studies in Medieval Life and Thought series, this scholarly study reveals how one bishop's political manoeuvres fundamentally influenced the course of medieval English history and the wider process of European nation-building.
