The Gesta Alberonis records the exploits of Albero von Montreuil (Archbishop of Trier, 1131-1152), portraying him as a daring hero doing battle on behalf of the "Liberty of the Church." This translation of the Deeds is prefaced by a historical introduction and includes maps, a select bibliography, and an index."--Jacket.
