Adrian IV was born in England, spent his early maturity in Provence, was called to Rome and sent from there to Scandinavia. Finally in 1154 he was elected Pope. These essays explore the life of Adrian and his influences on society and the church.

This volume examines two aspects of the varied pontificate of Innocent III (1198-1216). It views papal authority and the pastoral role of the pope as complimentary actions of papal activity and as essential and equal partner's in the pope's faith and mission.
