The English Hierarchy in the Reign of Edward III

THE English hierarchy in the period between the Norman Conquest and the death of Edward II has attracted the attention of a number of modern scholars. Recently Mr. Pantin has extended those studies in an outline survey of the episcopate for the whole of the fourteenth century. The primary object here is to fill in with more detail the background of that out-line for the reign of Edward III. I shall, however, break up one of his categories into four. In general I shall suggest that care must be taken not to exaggerate the importance of bishops with experience in the royal administration or of those with high aristocratic connections. I shall seek to classify the 85 bishops in order to show their origin, their experience and, in the case of the aristocrats, their social class. In a century when civil servants might also be scholars like Richard of Bury, or when monks could hold great offices of state like Simon Langham, any attempt at an exclusive division into categories is bound to be artificial. Exclusive percentages will not, therefore, be relied on. Bishops may occur in one or more categories
