Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. She was a servant with no voice. He was a predator with powerful friends. She refused to stay silentand changed history.Normandy, 1429. The Hundred Years War rages, Joan of Arc is about to go on trial, and the English occupy the land. In the midst of this chaos, a young, low-born servant named Jeanne Corviere attends a hiring fair, hoping for a fresh start.Instead, she meets a sergeant of the law who lures her away with a lie about a wife in labor.What follows is a brutal assault in a dense forest and a shocking act of corruption.When Jeanne seeks justice, she discovers the investigation has been rigged by the relative of her attacker. But Jeanne Corviere is not like other women of her time.Instead of accepting defeat, she launches a decade-long legal battle that takes her to the high courts of Rouen.Her quest for justice puts her on a collision course with the medieval legal privilege that allows the clergy to liberate one prisoner a year, washing away all their crimes. When the clergy selects her rapist for freedom, Jeanne does the unthinkable: she screams the truth to the town.Based on the authors discovery of a document in a French archive, this book reconstructs a 600-year-old case that deeply resonates in our time.It is the story we know all too well: predatory behavior of men of elite classes whose victims are women of a lower status, whose bodies they believe they could appropriate.Most women in Jeanne Corvieres place may have given up, believing privilege wiped away the crime. But she did not.Due to that persistence, Jeanne not only won a civil settlement, but she also changed a centuries-long tradition. Jeanne Corvieres legal victory became legal precedent and helped end a tradition of privilege. It was an important step in the fight that continues today.Set against the backdrop of Joan of Arcs own trial and execution in the very same city, JAccuse is a riveting true story of courage.

Hardback. Condition: New. During the High Middle Ages, members of the Anglo-Norman clergy not only routinely took wives but also often prepared their own sons for ecclesiastical careers. As the Anglo-Norman Church began to impose clerical celibacy on the priesthood, reform needed to be carefully negotiated, as it relied on the acceptance of a new definition of masculinity for religious men, one not dependent on conventional male roles in society. The Manly Priest tells the story of the imposition of clerical celibacy in a specific time and place and the resulting social tension and conflict. No longer able to tie manliness to marriage and procreation, priests were instructed to embrace virile chastity, to become manly celibates who continually warred with the desires of the body. Reformers passed legislation to eradicate clerical marriages and prevent clerical sons from inheriting their fathers' benefices. In response, some married clerics authored tracts to uphold their customs of marriage and defend the right of a priest's son to assume clerical office. This resistance eventually waned, as clerical celibacy became the standard for the priesthood. By the thirteenth century, ecclesiastical reformers had further tightened the standard of priestly masculinity by barring other typically masculine behaviors and comportment: gambling, tavern-frequenting, scurrilous speech, and brawling. Charting the progression of the new model of religious masculinity for the priesthood, Jennifer Thibodeaux illustrates this radical alteration and concludes not only that clerical celibacy was a hotly contested movement in high medieval England and Normandy, but that this movement created a new model of manliness for the medieval clergy.…
