Bøker av Peter Linehan

Presents a collection of articles that represents investigation of themes broached on the movements of Cardinal John of Abbeville, and the related subjects of historiography and historians, the interplay of history and government, and aspects of sacral monarchy.

This text indicates the course that the author's historical interests have followed since "Past and Present in Medieval Spain". It is a combination of Spanish and Portuguese history and historiography spiced up with the history of canon law.

These 14 studies are concerned with aspects of the history of Christian Spain between the 6th century and 14th century. A recurrent theme is that of the invention of the past, and the ways in which men have sought to appropriate or recolonise it. Also covered is 13th-century papal diplomacy.
