Chapter 4 shows how during John’s reign the baronial opposition appropriated the figure of the recently canonized Edward the Confessor, and used him as a standard against which to judge the current king. A key part was played by the London Collection of the Leges Anglorum, which compiled and in important respects elaborated and extended the compilations of Old English law codes made during the twelfth century. The Collection informed opposition thinking prior to the crisis which produced Magna Carta. The chapter also subjects to minute analysis two very unusual episodes recorded in thirteenth-century annals of provincial churches. First, the St Augustine’s, Canterbury account of Duke William’s having allowed the men of Kent, uniquely, to continue to use Old English Laws and customs. This episode is supposed to have taken place at Swanscombe Down in 1066. The second is the Burton Abbey account of what purports to be a dialogue between King John and a papal legate, allegedly in 1211. The nub of the dialogue is a disagreement about the role of Edward the Confessor. The chapter then shows how Henry III re-appropriated St Edward for the royal cause, but by emphasizing his saintliness rather than his alleged legislation. Henry focussed on the development of the cult, expressed in liturgical, artistic, and architectural terms, and focussed on the rebuilt Westminster Abbey. The chapter concludes with a brief envoi on the later medieval expression of the cult, especially under Richard II.
第四章展示了在约翰统治期间，贵族反对派如何利用最近被封为圣徒的忏悔者爱德华的形象，并将他作为评判现任国王的标准。英国法律汇编(Leges Anglorum)的伦敦合集(London Collection of the Leges Anglorum)发挥了关键作用，它编纂并在重要方面详细阐述和扩展了12世纪编纂的古英国法典。在产生《大宪章》的危机之前，《大宪章》为反对派的思想提供了信息。本章还对十三世纪地方教会编年史中记录的两个非常不寻常的事件进行了细致的分析。首先是圣奥古斯丁在坎特伯雷的记载威廉公爵允许肯特郡的人，继续使用古英格兰的法律和习俗。这一集应该发生在1066年的斯旺斯库姆谷。第二个是伯顿修道院的记载，据说是1211年约翰国王和教皇使节之间的对话。对话的核心是关于忏悔者爱德华的角色的分歧。这一章接着展示了亨利三世是如何将圣爱德华重新用于皇室事业的，但强调的是他的圣洁性，而不是他所谓的立法。亨利专注于邪教的发展，在礼仪，艺术和建筑方面表现出来，并专注于重建威斯敏斯特教堂。本章以中世纪晚期，特别是理查二世时期，对邪教表达的简要描述作为结语。
