Sword, Miter, and Cloister: Nobility and the Church in Burgundy, 980-1198 - Paperback
by Constance Brittain Bouchard (Author)
In Sword, Miter, and Cloister, Constance Brittain Bouchard provides a fresh perspective on social and ecclesiastical life in the High Middle Ages. Drawing on a vast range of primary sources, she reveals the surprisingly close relationship between the nobility and reformed monasteries in Burgundy. By focusing on a region considered to be the heart of aristocratic and monastic Europe during this era, Bouchard is able to develop themes and reach conclusions that can be applied to much of Europe.

Among her many books are "Every Valley Shall Be Exalted" The Discourse of Opposites in Twelfth-Century Thought and "Strong of Body, Brave and Noble" Chivalry and Society in Medieval France, also from Cornell, and The Cartulary of Montier-en-Der, 666-1129.
