James Brundage

James A. Brundage is Professor Emeritus of history at the University of Kansas. He was formerly Ahmanson-Murphy professor of medieval European history and for many years before that at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. 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 most widely known for his tongue-in-cheek flow-chart explaining medieval Christian sexual ethics. He received his PhD from Fordham University.
