Abstract | This session will examine what effect England's extended war against various other Christian kingdoms had upon the religious beliefs and practices of its people. It will focus upon the idea that royal policy and foreign military service could influence aristocratic religious beliefs and practices. What this session seeks to emphasise is how the martial experiences of English men-at-arms could influence their dealings and dedications to local religious houses, the importance they placed upon the parish, and their personal piety and charity. |
