This is the first of two volumes, now covering the heads of
religious houses in England and Wales from the tenth-century reform
to the death of Edward III, 940-1377. This first volume, by the
great master of monastic history, Dom David Knowles, aided by
Christopher Brooke and Vera London, was published first in 1972 and
was quickly recognised as a major work of reference, noted for its
mastery of accurate detail. It has now been brought up to date with
substantial addenda and corrigenda by Christopher Brooke. The 1972
volume covers the period 940-1216, and comprises fully documented,
critical lists of monastic superiors, with succinct biographical
details. It is an essential foundation for all prosopographical
study of the religious history of the period; and the precise
chronology that it underpins is invaluable for dating innumerable
undated documents. As such, the book is a fundamental tool of
medieval research.
This book is a continuation of The Heads of Religious Houses:
England and Wales 940-1216, edited by David Knowles, C. N. L.
Brooke and Vera London, which itself is reissued with substantial
addenda by Professor Brooke. This present volume continues the
lists from 1216 to 1377. In this period further record sources have
been provided by episcopal registers, governmental enrolments,
court records, and so on. Full references are given for
establishing the dates and outline of the career of each abbot or
prior, abbess or prioress, when known. The lists are arranged by
order: the Benedictine houses (independent, dependencies and alien
priories); the Cluniacs; the Grandmontines; the Cistercians; the
Carthusians; the Augustinian canons; the Premonstratensians; the
Gilbertine order; the Trinitarian houses; the Bonhommes; and the
nuns. An introduction discusses the nature, use and history of the
lists and examines critically the sources on which they are based.
