Mapping martyrdom -- Martyrdom in religious ideas and practices -- Martyrdom between orthodoxy and heterodoxy -- Metaphorical use of martyrdom -- Thomas Earl of Lancaster : Christ's knight -- From condemnation to cure : cult chronology -- Lancastrian affinities -- Chivalry -- Justice and injustice -- Archbishop Richard Scrope : shepherd of the people-- Cult chronology : saint or martyr? -- The bishop's roles -- Scrope and the city of York -- King Henry VI : glory of innocence -- Cult chronology : from Chertsey to Windsor -- Posthumous popularity -- Royal imagery -- Protector against theplague -- Patron of learning -- A holy innocent -- The political idiom of suffering -- A death wortha martyr's crown : other martyrs and their cults -- Kings -- Bishops -- Barons -- Conclusion -- Cultcreation -- Cult purposes -- Martyrdom : 'old' versus 'new'? -- Shared and distinctive traits -- The English church.

Whether publicly decapitated or mysteriously murdered, political figures such as Thomas Earl of Lancaster, Archbishop Richard Scrope or King Henry VI became after their deaths the centre of cults which celebrated their memory. This book, a tour d'horizon for its field, explores the late medieval English devotional phenomenon of cults of political martyrs. Despite never gaining formal canonization they played important roles in the lives of their adherents, enabling them to construct individual and communal identities, crystallize ideas on knighthood or justice, or find succour in difficult times. By examining these cults throughvarious types of sources - hagiography and liturgy, artefacts and chronicles, accounts and poems - the richness of political culture in the period is revealed, and insights offered into fourteenth and fifteenth century English society, and the ways in whichbelief, worship and political language and practice were continuously constructed and re-constructedin the period.
