Reviews
This volume represents a major step forward for the study of a pivotal figure in twelfth-century history. [...] Ultimately, this book is a vital resource for any scholar hoping to better understand Henry of Blois's place in twelfth-century English history, and a step toward a more comprehensive portrait of this elusive figure. -- COMITATUS
A richly informed volume that deserves the attention of all scholars interested in this remarkable figure. * SEHEPUNKTE *
The editors and contributors should be applauded for bringing together such a diverse and compelling series of articles on a figure surely deserving of further study. This volume stands as a strong testament to the figure at its heart and goes a long way towards filling the gaps in our understanding of Henry of Blois. -- Craig M. Nakashian * Nottingham Medieval Studies *
There is much to admire and enjoy about this collection. ... Historians have become rather too preoccupied by the question of whether Henry was a great man. By ignoring that debate and probing into particular aspects of his life and career, this book sheds new light not only on an individual but also on the many roles played by leading clerics in twelfth-century Europe. * SPECULUM *
