medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
I don't remember the title, or if it really applies, but I remember reading a medieval work back in grad school which offered advice to those travelling the Way
of St. James. One account sticks in my mind where a local community plots to assassinate a pilgrim bishop with the goal of attaining martyr relics for their
local church, thus tapping into the cash cow that pilgrims often were.
Someone here probably knows what I'm talking about.
Anyone? Anyone?
Bueller?
