    The Devil and the Irish King: Don Guillén Lombardo, the Inquisition and the politics of dissent in Colonial Mexico City
    (2004) Konove, Andrew Philip; Saler, Bethel; Stuard, Susan Mosher; Krippner, James
    The Mexican Inquisition arrested Don Guillén Lombardo de Guzmán in 1642 for practicing magic, selling peyote to an Indian and plotting to overthrow Mexico's colonial government. As an Irish Catholic of noble descent, Don Guillén had studied in London and Madrid, captained a pirate ship and fought in the Spanish Army before arriving in the New World. He spoke at least five languages, was a prolific writer and was one of Colonial Mexico City's most notorious heretics. This thesis analyzes Don Guillén's life in the context of the 17th century Atlantic world and uses it to explore the nature of religious crime and policing in the Americas.

    The Virgin Mary in high medieval England : a divinely malleable woman : virgin, intercessor, protector, mother, role model
    (2003) Furman, Cara E.; Stuard, Susan Mosher; Smith, Paul J., 1947-
    This thesis examines the significance of the Virgin Mary in England between the late fourteenth century and early fifteenth century. In my investigation of three primary sources, Robin Hood tales, the Mystery Plays, and the Mary Play at N-Town, Mary served distinctly different purposes. Yet, in identifying what each group required from Mary, broader tensions in English society become apparent. For those disenfranchised from the Catholic clergy, Mary was another route to God. The Catholic Church, losing power as an institution, employed the ideal of Mary to teach parishioners to be a good Christian and later to defend Catholicism against reformist movements. One trait that remained constant for Mary was role as intercessor. For Catholics, she had a direct connection to God and could plead on people's behalf. For Protestants, she saved souls as a model of faith. Though all technically Catholic texts, the primary sources in this chapter show both Catholic and Protestant ideas. Mary's intercessary role illustrates how people were struggling between the ideals of the two religions.
