Canons of the Council of London (960 AD) - Paperback

by King Of the English Edgar (Author), D. P. Curtin (Translator)

Upon the ascension of Edgar to the Anglo-Saxon throne, he immediately sought to reform the English church with the assistance of St. Dunstan, the former bishop of London. He held this council to alter several policies regarding the governance of the English church, and to push the growing centralization of ecclesiastical power into the See of Canterbury. Edgar's reforms would have a long lasting impact on the Church of England, and to some degree, remain active to the current day.
