Lively record of 14c ecclesiastical life in the north of England.
John Kirkby's episcopate was an eventful one. It coincided with a
period of Anglo-Scottish warfare in which the bishop participated
with gusto, but even domestically his tenure of the see of Carlisle
was stormy: the bishop was involved in feuding among the local
gentry, and quarrelled with his archdeacon and with the dean and
chapter of York during the vacancy of 1340-42. This second volume
of Kirkby's register includes a rental of episcopal manors, an
appendix of transcripts of documents, and the index, adding to the
calendar contained in the first volume and providing a lively
record of life in a remote part of the country. R.L. STOREYis
Emeritus Professor of Medieval History, Nottingham University. He
is the author of several standard books on late-Medieval England.
