Saint Francis of Assisi
Known for speaking with the birds, for professing poverty, receiving the stigmata and for initiating the Franciscan order, Francis of Assisi is one of the most radical and inspiring figures in Christianity. In this outstanding and celebrated biography, the distinguished medievalist Jacques Le Goff paints a fascinating picture of the life of Francis of Assisi. Locating Francis in the feudal world of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries and explori…
Courting Sanctity
Courting Sanctity traces the shifting relationship between holy women and the French royal court across the long thirteenth century. It argues that during the reign of Louis IX (r. 1226-70) holy women were central to the rise of the Capetian self-presentation as uniquely favored by God, that such women’s influence was questioned and reshaped under Philip III (r. 1270-85), and that would-be holy women were increasingly assumed to pose physical, sp…

A return to the evidence for Marguerite Porete’s authorship of the Mirror of Simple Souls
In 1946 Romana Guarnieri identified Marguerite Porete as the author of the Mirror of Simple Souls. Since a small number of historians has recently expressed doubts about this identification, a fresh look at the evidence is warranted. This article first returns to Guarnieri’s announcement and subsequent statements on the subject in order to highlight both their strengths and their weaknesses. It then re-assesses the evidence, paying particular att…
Torture and Confession in the Templar Interrogations at Caen, 28–29 October 1307
Royal Agents and Templar Confessions in the Bailliage of Rouen
Through a close examination of the two extant documents generated by the Templar arrests and interrogations in the bailliage of Rouen, this article sheds new light on the way Philip IV's agents there interpreted their mandates in the uncertain atmosphere of the week following October 13, 1307. These crucial documents (reedited in appendices) are uniquely revealing, because they were produced entirely by the king's secular agents: the bailli of Ro…

The Master and Marguerite
This article examines the evidence for the intellectual and practical relationship between Marguerite Porete and the secular master of theology Godfrey of Fontaines. It analyses the nature, timing, and importance of Godfrey's response to The Mirror of Simple Souls, and argues that considering the interaction between these two figures has important consequences for our understanding of both of their careers
Agnes of Harcourt, Felipa of Porcelet, and Marguerite of Oingt
Three vernacular religious biographies were written by women about other women around the year 1300: Agnes of Harcourt's FrancienVie d'Isabelle de France(ca. 1283), Felipa of Porcelet's ProvençalVida de la benaurada sancta Doucelina(begun ca. 1297), and Marguerite of Oingt's Franco-ProvençalVia seiti Biatrix virgina de Ornaciu(between 1303 and 1310). Although a limited number of similar texts had been composed in Latin dating back to the early Mi…
