Charisma, Medieval and Modern
Popularized by the mass media, Max Weber's sociological concept of charisma now has a demotic meaning far from what Weber had in mind. Weberian charismatic leaders have followers, not fans, although, exceptionally, fans mutate into followers. This essay aims to trace some of the dimensions of Weberian charismatic religious leadership in comparative perspective, medieval and modern. Examples include: preachers, "double charisma," professors, "coll…
The Children's Crusade
The Children's Crusade was possibly the most extraordinary event in the history of the crusades. The first modern study in English of this popular crusade sheds new light on its history and offers new
Revivalism and Populism in the Franciscan Observance of the Late Quattrocento
Revival, as this volume shows, has had many different meanings within Christian history, and has taken many different, forms. Institutional revitalization, for example, is one thing; popular revivalism is another. Of course, they may be intertwined, as they were in the case of the Franciscan Observance of the late Quattrocento. The ‘re’ of ‘revivalism’ is usually taken in a retrospective sense -that which previously existed is brought to life onc…

Revivalism as a Medieval Religious Genre
Perhaps because the classification of religious behaviour in the Middle Ages has not received much attention, there seems to be no scholarly consensus concerning the number or nature of its genres. This means that at present we tend to have either inadequately differentiated, broad categories of medieval religious acts, or somewhat incoherent lists of highly specific religious practices. That a good number of these religious forms pre-existed and…
The crowd at the feet of Pope Boniface VIII
Inaugurated by Boniface VIII in response to popular enthusiasm, the Jubilee was one of the greatest papally-instigated revivals of the Middle Ages. Between the first anno santo in 1300 and 1500 there were no fewer than seven papally authorized, Roman Jubilees (or eight, depending upon the status of the disputed 1423/1425 Holy Year). Firmly linked to the crusade tradition, the Jubilee was a new kind of pilgrimage. If the circumstances surrounding …
Encounters in Medieval Revivalism
Any consideration of the half-millennium of Western European popular enthusiasm from ca. 1000 to ca. 1500-beginning, say, in 994 at the Council of Anse in Burgundy with the intervention of Abbot Odilo of Cluny in the Peace of God movement, and terminating (again with an arbitrary date) on May 23, 1498, in Florence, with the hanging and burning of Fra Girolamo Savonarola, O.P.-must involve the role of the regular clergy, the professed religious of…

The flagellants of 1260 and the crusades
Both in its geographical scope and in the institutions it created, the flagellant movement of 1260-61 may be regarded as the most significant popular religious revival of the thirteenth century. The crusading context of this movement has never been systematically explored. Such a context, while it has little relevance to the Spring inception of the penitential enthusiasm in its local Umbrian homeland, does help to account for the crucial step tak…
The Burning of the Amalricians
On 20 November 1210, before a large crowd of spectators which had flocked to the market-place of Les Champeaux outside the Saint-Honoré Gate in Paris, the heretical Amalricians were burnt at the stake. Fire that day consumed ten men, of whom nine were certainly laicised priests, deacons and sub-deacons. Six days earlier, at the nearby church of St Honorius, they had been stripped of their clerical status and handed over for execution to the royal…
