520 $aThe first extended study of relics of the Holy
Blood: portions of the blood of Christ's passion preserved
supposedly from the time of the Crucifixion and displayed as
objects of wonder and veneration in the churches of medieval
Europe. Inspired by the discovery of new evidence relating
to the relic deposited by King Henry III at Westminster in
1247, the study proceeds from the particular political and
spiritual motives that inspired this gift to a wider
consideration of blood relics, their distribution across
western Europe, their place in Christian devotion, and the
controversies to which they gave rise among theologians.
