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 a full account of
the convocation controversy in its first phase, making use of the
act books of both the upper and the lower house, as well as of
eye-witness accounts which have survived from other sources. Most
of this material has never been published before or is available
only in rare eighteenth-century editions which invariably reflect a
partisan stance and therefore reproduce only part of the evidence.
An appendix gives a complete bibliography of the controversy.
