Aelred of Rievaulx's extensive travels throughout the Anglo-Norman realm highlight his dual role as a spiritual leader and a key political figure during a tumultuous period marked by civil war. Jean Truax delves into Aelred's public career, emphasizing his contributions as a mediator and adviser to kings, particularly during the reign of Henry II. This work contextualizes Aelred's influence beyond his monastic duties, shedding light on his significant but often overlooked impact on the political landscape of his time.
