Papal Monarchy: The Western Church from 1050 to 1250

In this book Morris examines the building of Christian society between 1050 and 1250. The two centuries covered were among the most creative in the history of the Church and saw the emergence of much that is considered characteristic of European culture and religion: universities, commercial
cities, hospitals, the crusades, the inquisition, papal government, canon law, and marriage in its "western" form.
