In recent years Edward II??'s reign has attracted the attention of
a number of scholars whose work has considerably modified the
traditional picture. As a result, there has been a move away from
the emphasis on constitutional and administrative theory and
practice to a consideration of the personalities involved, notably
Edward himself and the earls of Pembroke and Lancaster. Although
medieval biography is difficult, such an approach has been highly
successful - the actions of individuals are seen to be crucial in
any analysis of events. However, since Kathleen Edwards??'s pioneer
article in the mid-1940s, the Church??'s contribution has been
largely neglected. In her view, after Archbishop Winchelsey??'s
death the bishops cut sorry figures indeed. The time has come for a
more sympathetic appraisal, in particular of the role played by
Adam Orleton, promoted successively bishop of Hereford, Worcester
and Winchester by a pope who paid no attention to the
expostulations of the government at home.
