King John and Religion
King John has been perceived as one of England's most notorious monarchs. This book takes issue with orthodox opinion, arguing that in matters of religion, the critique obscures the evidence for a ruler who realized that outward manifestations of faith were an important part of kingship. Medieval writers and later historians condemn him as a tyrant, seeing his long-running dispute with the church as evidence of a king who showed little regard for his faith.
In these areas, he ranks alongside many other medieval rulers.The book also presents a major reassessment of the king's dispute with the church, when England It demonstrates that John maintained chapels and chaplains, prayed at shrines of the saints, kept his own collection of holy relics, endowed masses, founded and supported religious houses, and fed the poor - providing for his soul and emphasizing his aura of authority.
