Catholicism as Environmental Protest in Rudolfo Anaya’s Bless Me, Ultima and Ana Castillo’s So Far from God
The geographical region of the US Southwest now known as New Mexico has been colonized by successive waves of invaders. First, the Spanish arrived carrying with them a militant Catholicism that sought to uproot and replace Native spiritualities. Next, the newly independent Mexican government also used Catholicism as a tool of colonization to counter the threat of Native uprisings and Anglo-American encroachment. Finally, following the Treaty of G…
The Song of Simon de Montfort
It is twenty-five years since the last biography of Simon de Montfort (written by John Maddicott) appeared in 1994 and Montfort is a significant and controversial enough figure for each generation to want its own assessment of his life and times. The title of Sophie Ambler’s cross-over biography, The Song of Simon de Montfort, is a double allusion that is well chosen. First, it refers to the Chanson de Roland and other romances which, as Ambler e…
Henry IV, by Chris Given-Wilson
Chris Given-Wilson’s biography of Henry IV is the latest in the long-running Yale Monarchs series. Recent years have seen a flurry of medieval monarchs and their reigns chronicled: during this decade alone, biographies of Athelstan, Stephen, Edward II and Edward III have appeared, each written by leading scholars. These books, and their predecessors, are of immense value to scholars and students in summarising, extending and enriching the existin…
Officers and Accountability in Medieval England, 1170–1300, by John Sabapathy
John Sabapathy returned to academia after several years working in public policy on the theme of accountability, and thus approaches an old topic, medieval administration, from a fresh angle and demonstrates that accountability of office-holders was something that medieval society wrestled with as much as those of today. Throughout history, the distance between rulers and ruled has been a concern both for those with power and those without. The t…
Edward II
Nobility and Kingship in Medieval England
Nobility and Kingship in Medieval England is a major new account of the relationship between Edward I and his earls, and of the role of the English nobility in thirteenth-century governance. Re-evaluating crown-noble relations of the period, Spencer challenges traditional interpretations of Edward's reign, showing that his reputed masterfulness has been overplayed and that his kingship was far subtler, and therefore more effective, than this ster…

Royal Patronage and the Earls in the Reign of Edward I
Despite his reputation as one of the most successful English monarchs of the middle ages, Edward I has never been seen as a generous king. This article looks afresh at the accepted view of Edward I as a miserly king and, by examining his relationship with his earls, seeks to demonstrate that Edward had a sophisticated and judicious approach to patronage which was based upon rewarding good service. The article attempts to place Edward I's patronag…
