Description

Explore the often-overlooked military roles of bishops, abbots and clergy in medieval England from around 900 to 1200. This scholarly work examines which ecclesiastical figures engaged in warfare, their motivations and timing, the methods they employed, and how contemporaries perceived these martial activities. Rather than dismissing fighting clerics as mere barons wearing robes, this study positions them at the intersection of military and religious history, drawing on ecclesiastical evidence to illuminate England's military organisation during the Plantagenet era. The book investigates three core questions: which clergy took up arms and why, how did they conduct military operations, and what did their contemporaries think of these activities? Part of the Church, Faith and Culture in the Medieval West series, it offers medievalists and historians fresh perspectives on an understudied aspect of the period.
