In the European Middle Ages, the use of religion to§attain political ends was a routine strategy and§remains a rich source for research. Politics and§religion were so closely intertwined in the Middle§Ages, it can be difficult to separate the knots. This§book examines one thread: How demonology was used in§the politics of power and the evaluation of power§players in the Middle Ages? Embattled kings like§Henry II of England and Philip the Fair of France§could align themselves with the righteous side of the§cosmic battle even against similarly embattled popes§like Boniface VIII and John XXII. Demonology is a§complex, non-linear tradition of texts beginning, at§a minimum, with the earliest books of the Old§Testament. This book is a history of ideas that§demonstrates the importance demonology held in the§Middle Ages and the seriousness of charges of heresy,§apostasy, sorcery, and witchcraft. Every institution§had a responsibility to protect the Christian§community against demonic influences and to save§souls, and every Christian was a member of the Church§Militant acting on behalf of the Church Triumphant.
