This book is the first detailed examination on a comparative basis
of the economic and political relations between the bishops and
their cathedral clergy in England during the century and a half
after the Conquest. In particular, it is a study of the structure
and historical development of the mensal endowments and the
redistribution of wealth which led, in the course of time, to the
establishment of the chapter as a largely independent body with
substantial political power. A description of the constitutional
importance of the mensa and its treatment in recent scholarly
writing is followed by a discussion of property rights and
liberties in the church and the role of the bishop in
ecclesiastical and civil government. The core of the book consists
of an analysis based on contemporary sources of the episcopal and
capitular organisation in each of the ten monastic and seven
secular sees.
