Books in the The Archbishops of Canterbury Series series

The first two archbishops of Canterbury after the Norman Conquest, Lanfranc and Anselm, were towering figures in the medieval church and the sixth archbishop, the martyred Thomas Becket, is perhaps the most famous figure ever to hold the office. This volume examines the pontificates of these three minor archbishops.

St Anselm's archiepiscopal career, spanned the reigns of two kings: William Rufus (1087-1100) and the early years of Henry I (1100-1135). Exploring Anselm's thirty years as prior and abbot of the large, rich, Norman monastery of Bec, and teacher in its school, this book notes the experiences which prepared Anselm for his archiepiscopal career.

Geoffrey Fisher's was such a significant archiepiscopate. Moreover, Fisher represents one major way of fulfilling his office: in this case, the archbishop as administrator. This title presents his portrait.
