medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Hi, Meg--
The early vitae of Thomas Becket were written in the 1170s but might be worth your attention because they exerted so much influence on later Lives of bishop-saints. There's a handy recent collection of English versions by Michael Staunton called _The Lives of Thomas Becket_ (Palgrave and Manchester University Press,
2001).
