Description
Book SynopsisTrade Review"Jordan's book, full of imaginative sympathy with those undergoing total displacement, constructs an intricate picture of the convert experience in France. . . . He writes in measured prose, guiding readers along unfamiliar historical paths."
---Michael Duggan, Catholic Herald"[This] book has a great deal to offer historians working on range of topics. For those concerned with missionary activity during this era, Jordan’s ability to shed light on the post-conversion experiences of these families represents a real step forward in our knowledge."
---Nicholas Morton, Journal of Religious History, Literature, and Culture"Jordan carefully tracks down and puts together the records of the crown’s financial outlays and legal and administrative measures for these immigrant converts. This painstaking detective work provides a fascinating study that will be of great interest to historians of the crusade and of the French crown."
---John Tolan, Journal of Ecclesiastical History
