Description
This book derives from a conference held in 1989. It reflects currentresearch on ecclesiastical organisation and on aspects of religiousbelief from the Black Death to the English Reformation. On the widerfront, there is an account of the diplomatic relations between thePope and those who ruled for the infant Henry VI. Regional studiesfocus on Carthusians in Somerset, and the continued attraction ofthe eremitical life; on the canons of Exeter cathedral and on thefoundation of chantries and the endowment of churches. Taken together,these essays show how late medieval religious belief was underminedby a variety of factors, and point up the contrast between the humanityand sensitivity of medieval religion and the nature of the faith whichreplaced it. Contributors: CLIVE BURGESS, ROBERT W. DUNNING, MICHAEL J. HAREN,MARGARET HARVEY, D.N. LEPINE, COLIN RICHMOND, ROBERT N. SWANSON, BENJAMIN THOMPSON.
