First printed edition of a hugely significant source of knowledge
of a turbulent period in England's history. Archbishop Simon
Sudbury's register is something of a rarity. Of the eleven
archbishops of Canterbury in the fourteenth century the registers
of only seven have survived, and of these only two have been
published: a portion of theregister of Robert Winchelsey
(1295-1313) and the register of the brief episcopate of Simon
Langham (1366-68). Sudbury became archbishop of Canterbury in 1375
while England was at war with France and while the church was about
to split in two by schism. His register reveals all of this, but
much more. There is the day-to-day administration of the church:
clergy ordained, parishes filled, disputes settled, wills proved
and much else. It shows Sudburyas a conscientious pastor animarum
and an able administrator, as well as a skilled canon lawyer, who
tried to steer a smooth course against the monetary demands of the
crown, which were to lead to the Peasants' Revolt and to his own
assassination on Tower Hill. This volume is a calendar edition of
Archbishop Sudbury's register: it contains an English-language
summary of each entry, including every place name and personal name
and date. An introduction records the making of the register and a
summary of its contents; notes elucidate particular points; and a
full index allows easy access to references.
