The Tudor bishops were men of power and influence within the
English realm, both because they possessed spiritual authority and
because they exercised lordship over great estates. This book
examines their activities as temporal lords: it seeks to discover
how wealthy they were and to what uses their revenues were put. Dr
Heal draws upon much research undertaken by other scholars in
particular dioceses and for particular prelates. The bishops
possessed considerable wealth, but they had little security, for
the crown effectively controlled their economic destiny, especially
after the break with Rome in 1534. No study of the episcopate can
therefore ignore the effects of royal policy, and this book
combines an investigation into the attitudes and behaviour of the
Tudor monarchs with its close examination of the fortunes of the
bishops.
