- Summary
- "A short and engaging study of an important and successful figure in 13th Century France, the bishop of Evreux, Philippe of Cahors. Jordan describes the education and youth of the budding 13th century churchman, and what it took to rise to the heights of royal favor under the future St. Louis. He goes on to reveal what sort of tasks a member of parliament and keeper of the seal had to address, and the day to day and sometimes mundane duties of a bishop."--
