Dear Andrew This should be fairly easy if you have access to the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography. It includes (short) biographies of every medieval English bishop including brief details of their education. It is searchable online but, in case you only have a hard copy, check all the bishops in the Handbook of British Chronology. There is also a two volume book entitled The English Episcopate in the Reign of Edward III by Fr Donald Blackley. It seems to be available on www.archive.org and also through Amazon (perhaps a POD as discussed on this list recently?). It rings vague bells but I cannot remember if I have ever read it or not! And I cannot find it in the BL catalogue which concerns me a little. Best wishes, Rosemary Hayes |
| medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture Does anyone on the list know of any research about the educational background of the English episcopate during the reign of Edward III? I'm working on an article about Bishop John Grandisson and I'd like to get a sense of how unusual he may have been at the time as a master of theology trained at Paris. Andrew E.
