Excellent- More about Marriage Litigation in the Western Church, 1215-1517
Late medieval church courts handled marriage cases differently in the North and South, with public penitential proceedings in the North and no such proceedings in the South. This study explores the differences in practice and demand, as well as how individuals obtained written documentation of their marital status. It integrates legal and theological perspectives on marriage with late medieval social history to address critical questions about the relationship between the church and medieval marriage.
