In the 14th century, the word trouthe, which had meant 'integrity' or 'dependability' took on the sense of 'conformity to fact'. The meaning of tresoun, moved from 'personal betrayal' to 'crime against the state'. This book argues that these alterations were linked to an emphasis on the written word and the reshaping of legal thought.

Elf Queens and Holy Friars offers a detailed account of the church's attempts to suppress or redirect belief in such things as fairy lovers, changelings, and alternative versions of the afterlife. That the church took these fairy beliefs so seriously suggests that they were ideologically loaded, and this fact makes a huge difference in the way we read medieval romance, the literary genre that treats them most explicitly. The war on fairy beliefs increased in intensity toward the end of the Middle Ages, becoming finally a significant factor in the witch-hunting of the Renaissance.
