The convocation records of the Churches of England and Ireland are
the principal source of our information about the administration of
those churches from middle ages until modern times. They contain
the minutes of clergy synods, the legislation passed by them, tax
assessments imposed by the king on the clergy, and accounts of the
great debates about religious reformation; they also include
records of heresy trials in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries,
many of them connected with the spread of Lollardy. However, they
have never before been edited or published in full, and their
publication as a complete set of documents provides a valuable
resource for scholarship. This volume contains the acts of
convocation during the reigns of Richard II and Henry IV,
extensively reconstructed from the archbishops' registers (which
are in disorder for much of this period) and other sources. The
texts enable us to chart the evolution of the convocations to the
point where they became virtually synonymous with provincial
councils, and show how they dealt with the challenge posed by John
Wycliffe and the early Lollards.
