Title:
Threads of Authority: The Virgin's Veil in the Middle Ages [because Mary was believed to have been assumed into Heaven, there were only secondary relics of her; mostly these were items of clothing; beginning in Constantinople, these relics were associated with the protection of cities and rulers; similar uses of Marian relics and images for the protection of rulers can be found in the West at least as early as the time of Charlemagne].
