A detailed examination of the patronage rights exerted over the
church by the nobility, illuminating the complex network of
relationships between them, the Church, and the clergy. While there
has been work on the nobility as patrons of monasteries, this is
the first real study of them as patrons of parish churches, and is
thus the first study to tackle the subject as a whole. Illustrated
with a wealth of detail, it will become an indispensable work of
reference for those interested in lay patronage and the Church more
generally in the middle ages. Professor David Carpenter, Department
of History, King's College London This book provides the first
full-length, integrated study of the ecclesiastical patronage
rights of the nobility in medieval England. It examines the nature
and extent of these rights, how they were used, why and for whom
they were valuable, what challenges lay patrons faced, and how they
looked to the future in making gifts to the Church. It takes as its
focus the thirteenth century, a critical period for the survival
and development of these rights, being a time of ambitious Church
reform, of great change in patterns of land ownership in the ranks
of the higher nobility, and of bold assertion by the English Crown
of its claims to control Church property. The thirteenth century
also saw a proliferation of record keeping on the part of kings,
bishops and nobility, and the author uses new evidence from a range
of documentary sources to explore the nature of the relationships
between the English nobility, theChurch and its clergy, a
relationship in which patronage was the essential feature. Dr
Elizabeth Gemmill is University Lecturer in Local History and
Fellow of Kellogg College. University of Oxford.
