Reviews

'This is a solidly useful book about a Pope who is little known...His commemorative volume does him justice.' Church Times '... as close as we shall come to a definitive study of one of the great over-achievers of his age.' The International History Review 'Overall Adrian IV provides the most comprehensive view of Adrian IV's life and career that one is likely to find.' The Medieval Review
