In Sword, Miter, and Cloister, Constance Brattain 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 surpassingly 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 ear, Bouchard is able to develop themes and reach conclusions that can be applied to much of Europe.
