The book describes the pecuniary and juridical concerns of both monasteries to maintain their authority, their possessions, and their income. Their direct, exempt ties to Rome created some tensions with the local ordinaries. Vendome slammed the doors of St. Denis in the bishop's face when he came dressed in vestments indicating rank over the abbot's, while de Ware fought the Franciscan Archbishop of Canterbury, John Pecham, over who could arrest and charge whom on a Westminster holding.
Briefly at the end, Jordan compares the fates of Westminster and St. Denis in later days. French revolutionaries desecrated the graves of kings and queens at St. Denis, scattering bones later gathered in a mass grave. Westminster would survive the English Reformation and the Civil War relatively intact, but Jordan wonders what Richard de Ware would think of all the tourists!
Well-illustrated and documented, A Tale of Two Monasteries is great reading for students of the Middle Ages and ecclesiastical history.
