James A. Brundage

James A. Brundage is professor emeritus of history at the University of Kansas. He was formerly Ahmanson-Murphy professor of medieval European history. Brundage specializes in the history of medieval canon law. In the first half of his career he studied the history of the crusades from the point of view of canon law. In later years he turned to the history of sexuality. He is perhaps mostly widely known for his tongue-in-cheek flow-chart explaining medieval Christian sexual ethics. He received his PhD from Fordham University.^[1][2]
