Hildebrand: And His Times is a historical book written by William Richard Wood Stephens, first published in 1888. The book is a detailed account of the life and times of Pope Gregory VII (also known as Hildebrand), who was one of the most influential popes of the Middle Ages. The author provides a comprehensive look at the political and religious landscape of Europe during the 11th century, exploring the complex relationships between the papacy, the Holy Roman Empire, and the various kingdoms and principalities of the time.The book begins with a brief overview of Hildebrand's early life and education, before delving into his rise to power within the Catholic Church. The author examines Hildebrand's efforts to reform the Church, including his attempts to eliminate simony (the buying and selling of church offices) and enforce celibacy among the clergy. Stephens also explores Hildebrand's role in the Investiture Controversy, a conflict between the papacy and the Holy Roman Empire over the appointment of bishops and other church officials.Throughout the book, Stephens provides a detailed and nuanced portrayal of Hildebrand, painting him as a complex and multifaceted figure who was both revered and reviled in his time. The author also provides a broader historical context for Hildebrand's actions, exploring the social, political, and religious factors that shaped his worldview and influenced his decisions.Overall, Hildebrand: And His Times is a fascinating and informative read for anyone interested in the history of the Catholic Church, the Middle Ages, or European politics and culture. With its detailed research, engaging prose, and insightful analysis, this book remains a valuable resource for scholars and general readers alike.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
