Reviews
Review of the hardback: 'This important book presents a detailed analysis of episcopal elections in the province of Rouen and the sees of Tours, Le Mans and Angers during a period identified by the author as pivotal in the development of canon law on this issue, and which also saw the establishment of Capetian rule in Normandy, Anjou, Maine and Touraine. It uses an impressively wide range of sources to integrate legal theory and practice with local custom and politics.' Journal of Ecclesiastical History
