Description
xxi, 459 p. : ill., map; 23 cm.
Summary
Koziol shows that in 10th and 11th-century France prayer was an act of political honour as well as religious devotion, since the language and gestures of prayer were used to address not only God but the earthly lords who claimed to rule 'by the grace of God'.
