This volume, which completes the edition of Cardinal Morton's
register, deals exclusively with the administration of the diocese
of Norwich during the vacancy of 1499, and represents one of the
most complete records of the governance of any English diocese over
a short period. The original Latin text is here presented in the
form of a full English calendar; the contents include a detailed
financial account, 140 wills presented for probate, judgements in
the consistory court at Norwich and the record of a visitation of
the parishes of Suffolk. The wills provide valuable insights into
the religious motivation of East Anglians at the end of the middle
ages, while the visitation returns and court judgements reveal much
about the conduct of clergy and laity. This is thus a valuable
source not only for the religious and social history of late
medieval East Anglia, but also for the condition of the church in
England thirty years before the Henrician Reformation.
