| Sumario: | "The lengthy period in the fourteenth century when the Papacy was based in Avignon created circumstances in which the burgeoning bureaucracy of the papal curia could flourish. Papal involvement in the everyday business of the church at the local level reached its fullest extent in the years just before the Great Schism."--BOOK JACKET. "This book examines the impact of that involvement in Scotland and northern England, and analyses the practical effect of theories of papal sovereignty at a time when there was still widespread acceptance of the role of the Holy See. The nature and importance of political opposition, from both crown and parliament, is investigated from the standpoint of the validity of the complaints as indicated by local evidence, and a new interpretation is offered of the various statutory measures taken in England in Edward III's reign to control alleged abuses of papal power. Points of similarity and difference between Scotland and England are also given due emphasis."--BOOK JACKET. "This is the first work to attempt to analyse the full breadth of papal involvement in late medieval Britain by utilising the rich local sources in association with material from the Vatican archives. Thus it has wider implications as a pioneering study of the local impact of papal policies in the Middle Ages."--BOOK JACKET. |
