Burghersh revealed as conscientious diocesan; new light on his
involvement in invasion of Isabella and Mortimer in 1326. Henry
Burghersh, bishop of Lincoln from 1320 until 1340, has not been
treated kindly by historians. The largely hostile view expressed by
early fourteenth-century chroniclers gives us a portrait of a man
promoted to the office ofbishop solely as a result of family
influence and royal intervention, but who subsequently betrayed the
monarch who had favoured him, lending support to the rebellion of
Thomas of Lancaster in 1322 and plotting with Queen Isabellato
overthrow her husband. This edition of Burghersh's episcopal
register reveals a different character. The bishop emerges as a
conscientious diocesan and an administrator of considerable
ability, while the evidence of his itinerary throws new light on
the question of his involvement in the invasion of Isabella and
Mortimer in 1326. The volume includes the first part of Burghersh's
institution register, comprising admissions of clergy to parochial
benefices, appointments of heads of religious houses, and
ordinations of vicarages and chantries in the archdeaconries
Northampton, Oxford, Bedford, Buckingham and Huntingdon. Dr
NICHOLAS BENNETT is Vice-Chancellor and Librarian of Lincoln
Cathedral.
