The Ladies of Zamora is a fascinating study of a moral scandal in a Dominican convent in 13th century Spain. Peter Linehan explains to us, with abundant archival material and elegant prose, the tumultuous events that occurred in that convent. Under a double standard fueled by very strict religious precepts, the nuns maintained clandestine relationships with friars from a nearby monastery, which led to scenes of lasciviousness and disorders that culminated in the intervention of Pope Boniface VIII.
