The ways in which, and the degree to which, the medieval Church and religion influenced the values, conventions and institutions of English society between Magna Carta and the Henrician Reformation are the focus of this book. The book examines, amongst other topics, anti-Jewish attitudes before and after the expulsion in 1290, peace-making through church courts, arbitration and love-days, how women were viewed and marriage regulated and how the populus responded to the mentally and emotionally sick, and how they cared and provided for the elderly. Throughout the book differences between high theory and pastoral teaching, and between belief and behaviour, are observed and assessed and what endured beyond 1535 is considered.
