About This Book

The volume pairs portraits of a medieval French monarch and of a sixteenth-century religious reformer, first tracing the king's upbringing, feudal relations, devotion and repeated participation in crusading endeavors, and his domestic and foreign policy, administrative and legislative reforms, and personal piety, then turning to the reformer's family background, legal education, exile and return to lead a church movement, his theological convictions regarding scriptural authority and predestination, his role in organizing religious discipline and civic order, and his controversies and polemics that shaped his reputation.
