More about the book
Focusing on the pivotal role of bishops in medieval society, this book examines the evolution of episcopal appointments from free canonical elections during the reigns of Henry III and Edward I to the shift towards papal provision. It analyzes theoretical frameworks, including canon law and royal decrees, alongside Lawrence of Somercote's influential 1254 tract on episcopal elections. The study provides a detailed exploration of the methods used to appoint bishops during this transformative period in history.
