| Abstract | The Pontificate of Gregory IX (1227-41) represents a key moment in the history of the papacy, both in its relationship with the secular powers and with the Church. The immense struggle with the Empire, the birth of the inquisition, crusading in almost all directions, the development of canon law, and ecclesiastical administration are some of the many features worthy of further examination. In this particular session we look at Gregory's politics towards heresy as mirrored in contemporary historiography, his attitudes to missionary activities, and relationship with non-Christian rulers and the Hungarian-Curial diplomatic relations during his pontificate. |
