Summary
Evidence for Anglo-German religious and cultural exchange is abundant, but is sequestered in a wide variety of little-used sources. So in this section more than elsewhere we shall be piecing together a fabric from many separate strands; but the resulting weave suggests a highly interconnected world of piety, learning, and religious activism which united the Rhineland to the English kingdom yet which has seldom received much attention in modern historiography. To fill this gap in the record we shall range widely from hagiography and relics to monastic confraternities, pilgrims and crusaders, educational and evangelical associations, and expatriate clerics of all sorts as we gather evidence of the variety of religious and cultural exchanges between Cologne and the English kingdom.
