medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture

    I am hoping that someone on this list can help me.  Iım currently doing
work on the Cistercian Henry Crumpe, best known as an opponent of the
Lollards in the early 1380s.  In 1385 and again in 1392, Crumpe was
condemned for a variety of statements he made against mendicant confessional
privileges.  What Iım looking for, and not finding, is secondary literature
on the debate over confessional privileges in the later 14th century, things
that would help me place Crumpe in the broader context of this issue.
    Iıve got Katherine Walshıs book on FitzRalph, and Szittyaıs book on the
anti-Fraternal tradition, but Iım not finding too much else that
specifically deals with mendicant confessional privileges.  Carolly
Ericksonıs articles on the critics of the Franciscans, for example, makes
only a passing reference to criticism of confessional privileges. FX
Martinıs article on Adam Payne explores the topic a little bit.  Does anyone
on the list know of any other works that Iıve missed?  While Iım
specifically focused on the British Isles, even material that deals with the
Continent would be helpful.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
