The Doubtful Grant of Ireland by Pope Adrian IV. to King Henry II. Investigated

Description: This book delves into the historical and literary context surrounding a series of papal letters that emerged in the 12th century. The letters in question purport to grant Ireland to England's King Henry II, and their authenticity has been fiercely debated. The author meticulously examines the evidence surrounding these letters, including the testimony of John of Salisbury, a contemporary of the events in question. By situating these letters within the broader context of papal authority, the author explores their significance in the complex relationship between church and state during the Middle Ages. This insightful study sheds light on the genesis, reception, and enduring impact of these controversial documents.
