Summary In this unique volume in the Ashgate Archbishops of Canterbury series, Jean Truax examines the pontificates of three minor archbishops: Ralph d'Escures (1114-1122), William of Corbeil (1123-1136), and Theobald of Bec (1139-1161). By presenting their biographies, careers, thought and works as a unified period, Truax highlights crucial developments in the English church during the period of their pontificates from the death of Anselm to Becket.
