| Abstract: |
We will explore the limits of orthodoxy in the Middle Ages, focusing on the Angevin kings and examples drawn from their extensive territories. We begin by looking at the lepers of Rouen, physically removed from Angevin society, but nonetheless playing their part within that society, as a focus for charity. We then turn to individuals such as Henry II and King John, who pushed the church close to the limits of its patience, and who incurred (or risked incurring) penalties such as interdict or excommunication. How did the Church react to these groups and individuals, and how did they respond?
