Abstract

This chapter explores the relationship between monarchy and religion. It does so through a variety of themes, such as the connection between monarchy and the divine, how monarchs navigated their relationship with religious institutions, their personal piety and their relations with subjects who did not practise the same religion. Spotlight studies highlight the canonisation of kings, tensions between rulers, bishops and popes, and the situation of Jews in medieval Europe. Taken together, this chapter demonstrates the intense relationship between monarchy and religion in medieval Europe, which could be both cooperative and conflicted.
