This book is a compendium of short texts, primarily arranged based on their hierarchy in the ecclesiastic order and set in the broader context of the history of the Rouen archdiocese in medieval France. The author, an archbishop, was an active participant in the political affairs of his day, holding positions as counsellor to the king and later as a member of his council of state. This collection of texts includes some of the letters, sermons, and speeches he gave in these roles. The collection also features an extended discourse on the place of the Catholic church in France in the wake of war and social upheaval. Beyond the author's own compositions, the book includes a selection of documents containing papal bulls, royal edicts, and other legal documents regarding the privileges and duties of the church in France going back to the 10th century. This book will appeal to scholars of medieval history, particularly those interested in ecclesiastical history and the history of religious orders as well as those interested in the history of France.
