		The Life of the twelfth-century ‘holy woman’, Christina of Markyate, was first published and translated by C. Talbot (from a very difficult manuscript) as long ago as 1959.
		Scholarly interest has grown slowly but surely and in recent decades Christina has taken her place amongst a small group of medieval women whose stories are becoming as well-known as those of their prominent male colleagues.
		Thomas Head’s paper on ‘The marriages of Christina of Markyate’ gives a brief and straightforward account of the legal issues raised by the idea of marriage to Christ, and of the competing definitions of marriage available in twelfth-century England.
