Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the contested history surrounding Pope Adrian IV's grant of Ireland to King Henry II in the 12th century. Through a meticulous examination of medieval chronicles, papal letters, and contemporary records, the author challenges the long-held belief that the pope bestowed Ireland upon Henry, arguing that the grant was never completed and remained merely an offer. By separating the question of the grant from that of the famous papal bull Laudabiliter, the author effectively refutes the prevailing assumption that the two were inseparable. The book sheds new light on the negotiations between the pope and the king, exploring the reasons why Henry ultimately rejected the offer of investiture. Thoroughly researched and engagingly written, this book offers a fresh perspective on a pivotal moment in Anglo-Irish history, challenging established views and providing a more nuanced understanding of the complex relationship between church and state during the Middle Ages.
