Episcopal Appointments in England, c. 1214–1344
«’This is a useful and informative volume, which illuminates a complex element in the ’constitutional’ arrangements of the English church of the thirteenth and early fourteenth centuries. It fits well with other recent work on the period’s ecclesiastical history, contributing to the major re-examination and re-evaluation that seems to be under way.’ History ’The author has taken a rather unfashionable topic and shown how much may still be made of it. The constitutional history of the church can hardly compete in voguishness with, say, the lives and afterlives of the saints, but Harvey has shown that it is a seam that is far from exhausted. Exceptionally well ordered, and written with graceful clarity, her book deserves our gratitude and its author praise.’ English Historical Review»
In 1214, King John issued a charter granting freedom of election to the English Church; henceforth, cathedral chapters were, theoretically, to be allowed to elect their own bishops, with minimal intervention by the crown. Les mer
