Marsilius of Padua and the Case for the Royal Ecclesiastical Supremacy (The Alexander Prize Essay)

Abstract

Taking William Marshall at his word, a comparison of hisDefence of Peaceof 1535 with the Latineditio princepsof theDefensor Pacis, printed in Basle in 1522, reveals that there is much need for ‘correction’ or rather, it reveals that Marshall had himself corrected and amended the original to suit his own purposes. What those purposes were, the nature of the amendments and their consequences for our understanding of the royal ecclesiastical supremacy will be the subject of this essay.
