Preface This is the second of two volumes that contain the reports to date of the Working Group on Church Court Records. Part I, which dealt with the Continent, appeared in 1989. The delay in the appearance of this part is largely due to a search for a means to produce it at somewhat less cost. Fortunately, technology caught up with us. The Working Group is part of a larger effort: the Research Project on Continental and Anglo-American Legal History. We would like to take this opportunity to thank the Gerda Henkel Stiftung for its generous support for the Project and, in particular, for its support for this Group, which operated quite differently from other Groups associated with the Project. Many individuals assisted us, too many to name here. We cannot pass over, however, Prof L.R. Poos and Dr Nigel Ramsay, who provided us with material that certainly would have escaped our notice, and Simon Doubleday, who provided last-minute and sorely needed assistance with the indices. We would also like to acknowledge the assistance of the archivists and librarians and their staffs in the numerous archives and libraries which we visited or with which we corresponded. Theirs is frequently a frustrating task, and their work too often goes unappreciated. Without them these reports could not have been written. In particular, we would like to acknowledge the following for their prompt return of correspondence and aid greater than anyone writing from another continent could hope for: an anonymous archivist at LeRO, H. Brooke of Southwell Minster Library, W.J. Connor of the West Yorkshire Archive Service, S. Eward of SCL, J.M. Farrar of CCRO, A. Henstock of the Nottinghamshire Archives, S.D. Hobbs of WRO, B. Jackson of the Lancashire Record Office, J. Kennedy of NoRO, G.A. Knight of LAO, S. Lewin of HaRO, T.W. Mayberry of SRO, and O.S. Pickering of Leeds University Library. Much of this book is devoted to Canterbury and York, and the archivists at both places have been correspondingly called upon for extraordinary assistance. A.M. Oakley and M.M.N. Stansfield of CCA both responded with unusual generosity. We would also like to acknowledge with thanks the permission of the dean and chapter of Canterbury to print extracts from material in their custody. D.M. Smith of YBI has not only been extraordinarily generous with archival assistance but has also advanced the cause of this project with numerous works of his own that are cited throughout the book. What he has accomplished with the preservation and calendaring of the CP series at YBI can only be appreciated by someone who first tried to use the cause papers more than twenty years ago.

Preface

It is in the nature of work like this to be incomplete and to contain mistakes. The Kanonistische Abteilung of the Zeitschrift der Savigny-Stiftung Rechtsgeschichte has offered its pages for supplements and corrections to these reports. The Group hopes that these volumes will be but a start on a complete and accurate inventory of the surviving records of the medieval ecclesiastical courts.

General Introduction The provinciale used in the medieval papal chancery (Tangl, Provinciale , pp 18-19) reports that in England the abp Cant has these suffragans: London (Londoniensis) Rochester (Roffensis sive Rovecestrensis) Chichester (Cicestrensis) Exeter (Exoniensis) Winchester (Wintoniensis) Bath (Bathoniensis) Wells (Wellensis, var on this and the previous : isti duo sunt uniti) Salisbury (Saresburiensis) Worcester (Wigorniensis) Hereford (Herefordensis) Coventry and Lichfield (Conventrensis sive Cestrensis vel Lichifeldensis, var: Lichefeldensis et Conventrensis unitas) Lincoln (Lincolniensis) Norwich (Norwicensis) Ely (Heliensis, var: Eliensis) st David (Menevensis) Llandaff (Landavensis) Bangor (Bangorensis) st Asaph (de Sancto Asaph, var: Assavensis) The last four were in Wales, and virtually no records of their ecclesiastical courts survive, other than what may be found in cases appealed to the provincial court of the abp (see the index of persons and places). On the overall question of the canon law in medieval\Vales, see: H. Price, Native Law and the Church in Medieval Wales (Oxford 1993). For a few surviving records from the dioc of st Davids, see: H.D. Emanuel, v Early St. Davids Records', National Library of Wales Journal 8 (1953-54) 258-63 (prints copies of a few cause papers from the cons court st Davids (and one possibly from the court of the rural dn of Cemais) cl349, from the flyleaves of Hereford Cath Library MS 0.8.ii).

Of the sees in England, Bath and Wells were indeed a unity, as were Coventry and Lichfield. (For Cestrensis (Chester), see below IV/02/1, IV/03/1, IV/12/1.) That gives us fourteen sees, including Cant itself, all of which have left at least some church court records that antedate 1563. For a modern list of the bishops of dioceses in both provinces, see Handbook of British Chronology, 225-99. For the problem of the Scottish sees in what follows, see id., ρ 300.

General Introduction

The proviniciale lists but two suffragans for the abp York: Durham (Dunelmensis) Carlisle (Cardocensis vel Karleolensis) One of the variants also offers the Scottish see of Whithorn (Candicasa, normally Candida Casa, known popularly as Galloway). The see was genuinely suffragan to York in the sl3. (See Brentano, York Metropolitan Jurisdiction, 94-108.) But our records show little in the way of appeals from that see in any period that has left court records (sl4-sl6), and nothing in the way of medieval records of our type appears to have survived in Scotland. See S. Ollivant, The Court of the Official (Edinburgh 1982).

in Pre-Reformation

Scotland, Stair Society 34

(The dioc of Sodor and Man became part of the province of York in 1542, too late to have had much impact on our material.) The diocesan archivist reports that no court records from Carlisle dioc survive at Carlisle from before the sl6/m. There are some cases from Carlisle in the appellate cases at York. The records at York and Durham are listed below (III, IV/04-05). In 1541-2, there was a major change in English diocesan structure associated with the Reformation and the dissolution of the religious houses. Bristol, Chester, Gloucester, Oxford, Peterborough and Westminster all became sees (the last for only ten years), taking territory from the older diocs. Since this development is so close to the end of our period, we did not pursue the records of these new diocesan courts, except in the case of Chester, where the records of the diocesan court form an unbroken series with the previous court of the adn (below IV/01-02), and of Bristol and Gloucester, where good printed catalogues exist (below IV/00/1, IV/00/9). As in Part I, our focus was on diocesan material, on material that antedates 1500, and on "court archives', records of jurisdiction that we had reason to believe were kept by the court itself (as opposed to records kept by one of the parties to a litigation, visitation records or material in mss). Once we found pre-1500 material that survives in a diocesan court archive, we visited the archive and tried to list all the church court records that antedate 1563. The introductions to Chapter III and IV list material (including probate records) that we have not been able to examine but that falls within our overall time-frame. All the references in those introductions, together with other incidental references to court material scattered throughout the book, are noted in the indices. With the exception of separately-classed probate records (discussed below), we believe that we have here a comprehensive list of all pre-1563 English diocesan court material from sees that antedate the Reformation and that survives in a court archive. We can be far less certain about the records of courts lower than diocesan courts, court records surviving in the archives of parties to a litigation, court records incorporated in formularies and other types of mss (see Owen, Medieval Canon Law, 30-42), and visitation records.

General Introduction

Considering how serendipitously some of the material listed below was found, the possibility of the discovery of more such material remains high. We have included (below IV/10/3/2, IV/19/3/2) a sampling of the litigation papers found in two dn&c archives. Similar papers exist in the archives of many such corporate bodies (see Chapter I). There is a considerable amount of material in episcopal registers that deals with legal issues of one sort or another. We have tried to notice such material when it reports actual proceedings that were held about contentious matters. We have indubitably missed a great deal. For material concerning heresy in episcopal registers and elsewhere from the early sl5, see Hudson, "Examination of Lollards'. For a guide to the registers both published and unpublished, see Smith, Guide to Bps' Registers. We did not attempt a comprehensive list of routine (ie, non-contentious) probate records. The English ecclesiastical courts were notable for the amount of probate business that they did, and routine probates occurred at virtually every level of court. Where the records of those probates occur in court records that also contain contentious matters we have, of course, noted them, and in some instances we have noted separate classes of probate records. Probate records of which we are aware but which we have not been able to examine are noted in the introductions to Chapters III and IV. The organization of the ecclesiastical courts in England was complicated. The source of the complexity seems to have been the wide geographical area covered by many diocs, the survival of a large number of partially exempt jurisdictions (known as "peculiars'), and varying settlements reached between bps and adns over a long period of time. The most complete guide to the court structure of the English ecclesiastical courts may be found in Gibson, Wills. That work, however, should be used with caution by the historian of the medieval ecclesiastical courts, both because its focus is on probate jurisdiction and because it contains much information of relevance only to the early modern period. Two types of provincial court were in operation: The court of Arches in London, the provincial court for the province of Cant, heard only appellate cases (both appeals from judgments of inferior courts and from non-judicial decisions made or feared). The cons York, on the other hand, heard both appellate cases from the province and first-instance cases from the dioc. At the diocesan level, every bp had a "consistory court', presided over by an off. The subject-matter jurisdiction, in fact if not in law, of these courts varied considerably from dioc to dioc. In Hereford, Lincoln and York, the cons court heard virtually no criminal (ex officio) cases, at least as a matter of first instance. In other diocs (Cant, Chichester, Ely and Rochester are notable, but it may be true of all the others except Hereford, Lincoln and York), the cons court did a considerable amount of ordinary ex officio business. In some cases practicalities seem to have dictated why the jurisdiction in fact of the cons courts varied. Lincoln and York diocs covered a wide geographical area. A peripatetic or local court was required to hear the

24

General Introduction

routine criminal and probate business. In both diocs this function was served by the courts of the adns or, in areas exempt from archidiaconal jurisdiction, by the court of the holder of the peculiar (eg, the dn&c of York cath; see III/02). But whether an adn's court would hear the routine criminal business was not totally a matter of geography. Travel in Hereford was also difficult. So far as we can tell, however, the adns in Hereford dioc did not have regular courts in our period. Rather, the eg of the bp conducted "rural consistories' in each deanery at regular intervals, hearing routine criminal cases, probating wills, and dealing with the occasional simple instance matter, while the off remained in Hereford and handled the more complicated instance business (see IV/9). A eg also operated in a similar fashion in Bath and Wells dioc, but there the cons court also heard ex officio business and the adns were active as well (see IV/23). By the end of our period, the bps of Lincoln were beginning, as a practical matter, to encroach on the jurisdiction of the adns (see IV/13/1). They were doing this by appointing comms for each adnry; these comms tended to serve as the off of the adn as well. It is tempting to suggest that something like this may have happened in diocs that by the time our records begin to be full do not seem to have active adns but do have various "commissary courts', whose geographical jurisdiction tended to run along lines of the adnries. This seems to have been the situation in Chichester, which had a comm court for the adnry of Chichester and another for the adnry of Lewes. Durham had a comm court for the adnry of Northumberland, London for London and Middlesex (though here the geographical scope does not match that of the adnries). It would be a mistake, however, to think that archidiaconal jurisdiction had disappeared by the end of the Middle Ages. We know that the adns had an active jurisdiction in Cant, Ely, Norwich, and York diocs, even at the end of our period. Archidiaconal probate jurisdiction was even more wide spread. Much "peculiar' jurisdiction also remained. In Hereford dioc, for example, where, as we have noted, the adns seem to have been ousted of jurisdiction at a relatively early date, the chancellor of the cath was still exercising his jurisdiction in his peculiar of Little Hereford at the end of our period (see IV/10/3). Episcopal jurisdiction in England was not exhausted by the creation of an off. As a result, offs tended be less important than they were, at least at some places, on the Continent. The term "officiality' is hardly ever used in English records. It has not been possible to determine how many subordinate jurisdictions had offs, and we have therefore called these jurisdictions "the court of', rather than "the officiality of'. The limitation of the off's jurisdiction to instance matters, at least in some areas, may also account, at least in part, for another phenomenon which, though not unique to England, certainly existed there to a notable extent: the existence of an active audience court of the bp. We have found substantial evidence of the existence of such courts in Cant, Lincoln, Salisbury, Rochester, Worcester and York diocs. More careful study of unpublished episcopal registers

General Introduction

would probably reveal more. These "audience courts' tended to focus (though never exclusively) on the more important criminal matters, not the routine fornication case, but cases of, say, heresy or simony, on cases involving the discipline of the beneficed clergy, and on cases in which the title to a benefice was at stake. The lowest levels of jurisdiction have left relatively few records, and such records are difficult to find. (Some particularly difficult ones to find are listed in the introduction to Chapter IV (IV/00/22, /24, /31).) The relative absence of material from the lower level jurisdictions makes what we do have all the more important. In this regard we would like to point to the records of the dn&c (or pr&c) peculiars scattered throughout the book and to the "finds' that prof L.R. Poos has kindly shared with us (see III/00/5, IV/00/25, IV/25/3), and to the list of printed records incorporated in the larger list in the introduction to Chapter IV. While it is unlikely that these records will resolve the controversy that swirls about the operation of these courts, they may be able to shed some light on otherwise obscure topic. Compare, eg, J. Scammel, "The Rural Chapter in England from the Eleventh to the Fourteenth Century', EHR 86 (1971) 1-21, with Bowker, "Archdeacons' Court Books'.

As in Part I, each report in this vol is divided into three or four numbered sections. The first section gives the province, diocese (if any), and name of the officiality and occasionally brief remarks on the history of the officiality. The second section gives the name, address, and, where available, the telephone number of the archive(s) (or library) whose contents are the subject of the report. Section 2 is normally accompanied by a bibliography of the finding lists that the archive uses and sometimes by a brief history of the archive. Where the author of the report has visited the archive, the name of the archive is marked by an asterisk (*). This part also gives the abbreviation, if any, used for the archive in the report. (A complete listing of these abbreviations is found in the table of abbreviations.) All the archives listed in this vol are located in England. Section 2 also contains references to material that we know exists in the archive in question but is in classes that we did not examine. It is here, in the case of diocesan officialities, that we attempt to list contentious material in the bps' registers. The third section of the report gives a description of the docs, also marked with asterisks to indicate the docs that the author has examined personally (in situ or, occasionally, on film). These descriptions are frequently divided into subsections, set off with numbered headings in italics. Where the list is long, it is given in the order of the archive classification, or, as is the case with CCA and YBI, an index by archive classification is provided at the end of the book. The first line of the description is standard: archive classification, physical description of quantity (in fols, pp, number of docs, etc), date or range of dates, and a brief indication of the contents. More elaborate descriptions are given in the smaller type that follows. The fourth section of the report, where it is present, offers general comments on the surviving records of the officiality and/or general bibliography.

General Introduction

Part I was organized by countries and then by ecclesiastical province. There are only two provinces involved in this vol, and the two provincial courts have left considerable holdings in archives that also have a considerable amount of material that concerns the dioc of the abp. For this reason it seemed best to have separate chapters on Cant and York. These chapters deal with the material from both the provincial court and the dioc. That left a chapter called, somewhat awkwardly, Other Diocesan and Lesser Courts', ie, everything left over that did not concern the provincial courts or the courts in the diocs of Cant or York. The first chapter has no parallel in Part I. It is a general essay by prof Sayers on the records of the courts of papal judges delegate, ie, records from a period that largely antedates the establishment of the formal officialities. The contents of each chapter are listed at the front of the book. A table of abbreviations follows the table of contents. All books or articles cited more than once have bibliographical short forms that are expanded in the table of abbreviations. This book has become sufficiently long that the temptation to write a general introduction to the history of the English church courts had to be suppressed. A good general history of the church courts of medieval England does not exist. Most of the specialized literature is cited at one or another place in the book. We hope that the publication of these reports will lead to the writing of a general history. In the meantime, the student looking for an introduction to what might be found in these records might consult: Owen, "Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction' (probably the best place to start); Helmholz, Marriage (the standard work on the topic); Donahue, "Stubbs'; Helmholz, Defamation (only about a third of the records printed in this book are of the ecclesiastical courts, but the introduction shows how ecclesiastical practice influenced the development of the secular law on this topic); D.M. Owen, Medieval Canon Law (more an account of English canonists and their learning than of the workings of their courts, but much interesting material); R.H. Helmholz, Roman Canon Law in Reformation England (Cambridge 1990) (brings the story to the end of our period and beyond). M. Franklin and C. Harper-Bill (eds), English Ecclesiastical Studies in Honour of D.M. Owen (forthcoming 1995) will contain a number of essays of relevance to this book, including: M. Brett, "Canon Law and Litigation in England: The Century Before Gratian'; A.K. McHardy, "Church Courts and Criminous Clerks in the Later Middle Ages'; D.M. Smith, "The Early Officiality in England'; R. Swanson, "A Warwickshire Case in the Court of Arches'; R.L. Storey, "A Malicious Indictment of Clergy in the Fifteenth Century'. Owen, Records introduces the record terminology used in this book. C.R. Chapman, Ecclesiastical Courts, Their Officials and Their Records (Dursley 1992) is largely concerned with matters after our period but contains some material of relevance here.

JANE SAYERS

I. The Records of the Courts of the Judges Delegate in England The records of the courts of the pjd do not survive in series, like those found for many episcopal courts in the later middle ages. There are obvious reasons why this is so. The loss is not simply due to the passage of time, nor to no such records having been made, but to the temporary nature of the courts themselves and to the varied and impermanent commissions of judges. Recourse to Rome meant (in most cases) delegation to ecclesiastics in the country whence the petition came, and while a mandate might be made out against more than one institution and more than one person, the jurisdiction lasted only for the particular case. Once the case was heard the court was disbanded, and the powers of the commission terminated. What happened to the records made in the course of the suit was not determined in advance, as with the permanent court of an abp or bp, established increasingly in one particular location with a continuing jurisdiction and permanent clerks and clerical officers. The Fourth Lateran Council of 1215 had included among its decrees a clause that every court, whether permanent or delegated (of ordinary or of extraordinary jurisdiction) was to employ a notary or two other persons to record its acts—the citations, exceptions, petitions, interrogatories, depositions of witnesses and so forth that took place in the course of the suit. In future these acta were to be drawn up at each session, copies were to be given to the parties, and the originals were to remain in the custody of the court (penes scriptores). Should any challenge be made to the validity of the procedure or to the final sentence, documentary evidence would be available for investigation and for enforcement. The decree circulated as a canon of the Council and was included in the Compilatio Quarta and later in the Decretales of 1234 (X 2.19.11). It was therefore widely known. The Council's stipulation suggests, however, that it may not have been common practice to produce written acts during the hearing before 1215 and that the final actum , giving the decision and condensing all the stages of the action into a résumé, was often the only written evidence. There is no reason to think that the judge delegate courts were less sophisticated than the ordinary courts—indeed the evidence sometimes points to the contrary view—but there were clear problems over the future of

28

I. Judges Delegate

the docs as the courts had no permanence. As soon as the judges had completed their work the commission was at an end. The various personnel were not grouped in the same commissions for other more permanent purposes—although they were sometimes reselected in the same groups. They therefore lacked continuity of contact, and their records were very much open to disposal and loss (as is the case with those of many modern bodies of inquiry). Nor did the varied meeting places of the courts of the pjd favour retention of the records. Courts might move from place to place, and sometimes the place selected had no definite connection with any of the judges (usually three in number on the commission; see Sayers, PJD 284-96). Permanent judges and settled locations for the hearing of cases explain improved survival of court acta. These were precisely the attributes that were missing from the ad hoc courts of the pjd. Measures were taken by pjd to deposit the docs of their courts, and occasional reference is made to the placing of the third copy of the settlement or sentence in a suitable ecclesiastical archive: in the treasury of Salisbury, eg, in a suit between the rector of Brightwalton (Berks) and the ab&c of Battle (Sussex), when Salisbury judges had been involved, and in the archives of Holy Trinity priory, Aldgate, London, when the judges had been the adns of Colchester and of Middlesex and the dn of Arches, and the parties the ab&c of Thame and the r of Oddington (Oxon) (see Sayers, PJD 243-7 for further examples). But such arrangements indicate the extreme fragility of the survival of the docs after direct memory of the deposit had lapsed, although there is some evidence of docs being produced on later occasions to prove sentences (see Sayers, PJD 264-5). The likelihood of longterm preservation, however, in a "neutral' archive was not great. What happened to intermediate acta—the judges' copies at any rate—was even more subject to chance. There are occasional references to their deposit also, as with the final acta. The attestations of the witnesses in a suit heard by Rochester judges over tithes from a Suffolk living claimed by the Augustinians of Tonbridge (Kent) were placed in Stoke by Clare priory (Suffolk) (see Sayers, PJD 89). But it is unreasonable to suppose that these intermediate acta survived for more than a generation or two. If they did survive it was most likely to be with the parties. It might be tempting to connect the intermediate acta which remain in extenso from one particular suit with a very active and influential judge delegate, Richard de Mores, pr of Dunstable, but in fact their present whereabouts (in the archives of st George's chapel, Windsor) demonstrates that these were one party's (the ab&c of Bee's) copies and did not form part of the judges' records. Similarly the copying of a run of intermediate acta into the Alvingham cartulary (OBL, MS Laud Mise 642) was due to the clerk of the victorious party, the Gilbertines of Alvingham. It is possible that this copyist saw all the previous history of the vicissitudes in the ownership of the church of Stainton le Vale as important to record (see Sayers, PJD 315-16, 320, 347), but it is more likely that he simply copied the batch of charters and acta leading up to the final sentence without selection. Religious houses and other persons had every reason to be tenacious about ownership charters. The retention of

I. Judges Delegate

intermediate acta, however, which did not decide the case, whether in original or in copy, was by no means so important. Hence their survival today is usually piecemeal and not in a sequence or group as the above (eg, PRO, E/135/6/13 and OBL, MS Charters Norfolk no 24), and they owe their continued existence to having once formed part of large charter collections that were not weeded. In the same way, acta recording the draft of a sentence have occasionally not been destroyed, eg, BL, Egerton Charter 409 (see Sayers, PJD 321-2), commencing N In nomine patris' etc. The notes about a suit (now PRO, E/135/24/4; see Sayers, PJD 325-6) from 1253 between the prior and convent of Clifford and the ab&c of Abbey Dore represent a very considerable advance in the making of records by judges. They are composed in roll form and provide continuous entries which commence with a copy of the papal mandate initiating the process and proceed to the subsequent procedural acts—a note of an exception against the judge, a memorandum of the citation of the defendants to appear before the court and a note by the officer certifying this summons. They thus minute the court's activities for the judges' own purposes. But once the case had been settled and the initial likelihood of an appeal was over, they were not likely to be scheduled for long-term preservation by anybody. The final actum, on the other hand, which detailed the sentence or composition, is not surprisingly the most frequently surviving record of the judge delegate court. A fair number may be found in the original in major collections of charters, such as those in the BL, in the PRO and at OBL. See the catalogues: H.J. Ellis and F.B. Bickley, Index to the Charters and Rolls in the British Museum, 2 vols (London 1900, 1912) (vol 2, Religious houses and Other Corporations, is particularly useful); A Descriptive Catalogue of Ancient Deeds in the Public Record Office, 6 vols (London 1890-1915); W.H. Turner and H.O. Coxe, Calendar of Charters and Rolls Preserved in the Bodleian Library (Oxford 1878); and, eg, BL, Harleian Charters 44/H/47 and 44/1/24-5, PRO, E/210/9469 and OBL, MS Douce Charters a 1 no 29.

Indeed any collection of original charters is worth examining for docs of this kind from the judge delegate courts. Such a search is ninety per cent more likely to reveal final acta than intermediate. One example will suffice. Amongst the charters preserved in the Hull University Library (now numbered DDEV 44/3), is a charter, in the form of a chirograph, recording the settlement of a suit between the ab&c of Owston and Hugh Paynel about the payment of a rent. Lest the terms of the arrangement should be forgotten, they were recorded in the deed which was then sealed by the judges and the parties. The importance of the final actum is self-evident. Very frequently it constituted a deed of title in a way that intermediate acta (even the attestations of witnesses) could not. Where ownership of a church or of tithes was in dispute it was essential that the final decision, whether a judgment or a composition, was preserved as embodying the settlement of the court. Careful clerks entered such docs in their cartularies, and it is here

30

I. Judges Delegate

that the great hidden source for the history and procedure of the judge delegate courts survives. Most cartularies contain something relevant, usually included if final acta— as is most likely—in the appropriate topographical section. There are, however, exceptions where the doc is perhaps the papal mandate initiating the proceedings or a final confirmation of the settlement or composition by the pope or by the diocesan. In these instances, if there is a section papalia (papal docs) or episcopalia (episcopal docs), the transcripts will appear there. (There may also be original papal mandates to pjd empowering them to hear a case surviving in the archives of religious institutions and elsewhere, eg, Dn&c st Paul's London, Press A box no 77 Charter no 2069 (now at LGL) and LPL, PD no 32, from the abp Cant's collection.) The cartulary source itself can be tapped by examining G.R.C. Davis's Medieval Cartularies of Great Britain: A Short Catalogue (London 1958). This covers cartularies in England and Wales in both public and private ownership. Now that there are a fair number of cartularies in print many such docs are easily available as patterns and provide a foretaste of the rich sources in almost every cartulary of the sl3. The st Fridewide's Cartulary (S.R. Wigram (ed), Oxford Historical Society 28, 31 (1895-6)) includes such examples. Even the few leaves of the Leeds cartulary, cast out by a firm of solicitors but now in the Kent Record Office (U/120Q/13), contains a record of one judge delegate case. Of course the survival of such a wealth of final acta in cartularies does not cloak the fact that records of court decisions or arbitrations affecting the laity, especially in marriage and testamentary suits, are sadly lacking. Any analysis of jurisdiction over the laity in areas that were extremely important and the preserve of the church courts alone is therefore difficult if not impossible. With few exceptions, the records simply do not survive. We can only sample something of this jurisdiction by looking elsewhere, in the Curia Regis Rolb (HMSO, London 1922- ), where a certain number of cases of disputed jurisdiction are recorded, and in the numerous procedural treatises (many important ones edited by L. Wahrmund, Quellen zur Geschichte des römisch-kanonischen Processes im Mittelalter , 5 vols (Innsbruck 1905-31)), but these are not official records of the delegated courts. Whilst the legal activities of the religious houses before the judge delegate courts can therefore be pretty clearly mapped or charted and the sequence of docs in the suit reconstructed, those of the laity have sunk now largely into oblivion. Records of such cases may not present many basic differences either in form or in procedure but that is something we shall probably never know. The distinction between first instance and appeal cases also affects the nature of the records. First instance cases went directly to the pope and usually resulted in delegation: it is the records of these suits that we have been discussing so far. In cases that went on appeal to Rome, however, an account of the proceedings in the lower court was necessary. These transcripts were supplied to the appeal court. Until the records of the Roman rota begin in the sl5, our main source for such cases is the papal registers, that is, not case records. When the records of the church courts in

I. Judges Delegate

general, archiépiscopal, episcopal, archidiaconal and of the peculiars, begin to survive more systematically from the s 14, then this material is to be found among the court papers. To take but one example, sometime after 3 June 1505, Joan Smythley appealed to the Roman curia in a matrimonial case brought against her by Robert Sergiantson before the official of Beverley. Both parties were from Beverley, and Robert claimed that Joan was married to him. Joan was the heiress of Alexander Smythley, kt, of Beverley, and had very considerable expectations (of immovables worth twenty marks per annum and movables valued at 100 marks). In her appeal, she claimed that she was totally free of any marriage contract with Robert and that she had lost the case through inability to hire the necessary legal counsel to defend her because of the outbreak of plague in Beverley, which had also prevented some of her main witnesses from appearing. The pope, Julius II, delegated the case to the abbots of Thornton, Newsham and Barlings. We do not know the final outcome, but the stages thus far, including the articles and the attestations of the witnesses, together with the libel of Joan before the pjd and the consequent articles, are accounted for in the surviving records at York (YBI, CP.G 14/1-6). Lack of consistent court material of this kind for the judge delegate courts means that we may be without not only the full acta of the court but also the so-called "cause papers' for the particular case, such as libels, interrogatories and depositions. Only rarely do we get a libel quoted in the final actum , and the details of interrogatories and the examination of witnesses are few and far between (but see, eg, PRO, E/40/14099; J.H. Bullock (calendar), The Norfolk Portion of the Chartulary of the Priory of St Paneras of Lewes , Norfolk Record Society 12 (Norwich 1939), for witnesses' attestations). These attestations, sealed by the examiners, were obviously carefully kept at first but did not survive long periods of time and the tidying up of later generations of record managers. The likelihood of their destruction was far greater than material in bound volumes and docs recording settlements concerning title. Intermediate acta, which recorded these amongst other matters, are also invaluable for the time schedule of the particular court. Even if the final record of the judges described the stages of the suit and gave details about the libel, exceptions and proof, it was unlikely to comment on date, while the intermediate acta always concluded with a note of the next court day. For example, acta in Lichfield cath in a judge delegate case recorded the court hearing on 4 Nov 1248, when the proctor of one party sought and was given the next court day on which all dilatory exceptions were to be proposed (OBL, MS Charters Ox on no 11). In the Alvingham case the parties first appeared before the judges on 21 Jun 1245 on which day inducie deliberatorie were granted to the defendant. On the next court day, 17 Jul, certain dilatory exceptions were proposed, and the court then adjourned until 7 Oct when all dilatory exceptions were to be brought. On that day, 5 Nov was appointed for discussing them, the court returning a week later on 12 Nov for the same purpose. Dec 4th was selected for the litis contestatio, and the judges finally reached the point of judgment on the same day (OBL,

32

I. Judges Delegate

Alvingham Cartulary, fol 5r-v; see Sayers, PJD 42-99, for details of the procedure). Some of the proctors' documentation has escaped destruction, notably the proxy (procuratorium ) or letter of appointment (see Sayers, PJD 344-8, nos 12-16). Such docs were of considerable importance to the proctors as constituting their empowerment which would need to be produced in court. They were also important to their employers as recording the contract and so were carefully preserved and sometimes copied into the cartulary of the house, even on occasion being copied by the opponent (see Sayers, PJD 3445; Westminster Abbey Muniments, Westminster Domesday, fol 379r, where a Godstow proxy is entered in the Westminster Domesday in a case between Westminster and Godstow in which Godstow were the defendants—this is presumably a copy of the transcript supplied to the party by the court). Of significance, too, are the appointments of proctors for alien houses where the proctor or proctors could attend to diverse court business before various civil and ecclesiastical courts (both ordinary and delegated), often for all the houses or cells of the order in England. (It is possible that survival of these particular proxies is better than for the individual appointments made in England: see, eg, LPL, CM II 53-4, for st Germer de Flaix.) On the production of the proctorial doc in court it was usual for the judges to compose an inspeximus, as that made in 1251 by the court of Henry de Lexington, dn of Lincoln, acting as a judge delegate, which confirmed the appointment of the proctors of the ab&c of st Sever (Sayers, PJD 346). Other proctorial docs concerning the conduct of the case, pleas, memoranda, discussion of legal points and so forth, have vanished without trace. The officers employed by the courts of pjd were expected to report their activities. These were fourfold: (1) serving mandates and summoning or citing the parties and the witnesses to court, (2) making limited investigations in the course of the suit, (3) carrying out interim judgments (of suspension, excommunication, sequestration, induction causa rex seruande and absolution) and (4) implementing and enforcing final sentences. In all four functions the delegated officers were expected to certify in writing to the pjd that they had fulfilled the particular task: vqualiter autem mandatum nostrum in hac parte fueritis executi nobis per litteras vestras patentes faciatis constare', as one instruction ran (Llanthony Cartulary, PRO C/115/A/1, fol 288r). The dn of Cirencester, eg, wrote in letters patent to the sacrist of st Guthlac s, Hereford, a subdelegate, reporting the summons of the r of Meysey Hampton (Gloucs), after he had been suspended (by the same rural dn) for contumacy (OBL, MS Charters Ox on no 364). The dn of Gloucester announced Omnibus Christi fidelibus présentes litteras inspecturis' that he had inducted into the vicarage and had given the residue of the church, as directed by the judges, and had published that the ν and holder of the residue should pay yearly pensions to the cans of Llanthony. The doc was copied into the Llanthony Cartulary (reference as above) as constituting a definite right.

I. Judges Delegate

The requirement made known by the legate Otto in the 1237 Council of London that officials, rural dns and lower officials should have seals on account of the lack of notaries and notarial docs in England (c.28) indicates the steady growth of written docs at all stages in the conduct of court business. Other decrees of the same council (notably cc.26 and 25) accentuated the importance of written proxies and of citation by the court's officers, not by messengers of the parties, and laid down certain regulations concerning compositions and the hearing of marriage cases (cc.21, 23). These were attempts not only to overcome certain native customs which the exponents of a more sophisticated Romano-canonical procedure deplored and to improve the reception of the classic procedure, as with the adoption of the oath of calumny (c.24), but also to ensure properly drawn up and duly authenticated record of the court. See F.M. Powicke and C.R. Cheney (eds), Councils and Synods with Other Documents Relating to the English Church. II: A.D. 1205-1313, 1 (Oxford 1964) 254-8.

It is possibly not entirely due to chance that the more interesting of the surviving records of the judge delegate courts, ie, the intermediate acta and the memoranda, so far discovered, date from after the 1230s and 1240s rather than before. There is too little material to do more than conjecture. Earlier evidence of this kind may once have existed but have been destroyed for various reasons. But certainly the procedure of the courts did not remain static. It was open to development and refinement. Both better and more documentation is likely. The rarity of notaries in England poses the question of who precisely were the clerks of the ecclesiastical courts and especially of the judge delegate courts. The answer must lie in the entourage of the particular judges. Clearly in the early years of judge delegate jurisdiction, when bishops were much employed in cases, use was made of the clerks in the episcopal households. When abbots and priors were chosen as judges, monks and canons were almost certainly employed, and when members of the secular hierarchy, such as dns, precentors and treasurers, were selected, presumably their clerks wrote the requisite docs. The acquisition of a formulary, of which reasonably abundant examples survive for the judge delegate courts (see Sayers, PJD 46-54 and the references cited there and for one in print J. Sayers, V A Judge Delegate Formulary from Canterbury', BIHR 35 (1962) 198-211), was essential for the judges to comply with the requirements of the canons of councils and for the clerks to use as models. Procedural treatises often provided forms as well and in the long term, through learned and experienced judges, doubtless influenced the documentation. The above brief remarks refer in the main to the English judge delegate courts, but there is evidence that the material is similar for the Continent. So far detailed work has not been undertaken for the post-sl3 period in England. My impression, on the basis of the cartularies that I have examined, is that the number of cases coming before these courts after this date declines considerably. Why this should be so is difficult to explain 3 Donahue

I. Judges Delegate

without a detailed investigation. The great burst of record keeping in England, to judge by cartulary compilation, was in the sl3. Cartularies and registers are less common for the sl4 (although many do include good judge delegate materials, eg, Thorney, CUL, MS Additional 3020-1) and certainly drop in number for the sl5. The general impression is that the court material is entered by the scribes inconsistently and sluggishly in the sl4 and is more likely to concern the ordinary and the provincial courts than the papally delegated ones. I have discussed the decline of papal judge delegate jurisdiction elsewhere, but a complete picture of what records there are for the judge delegate courts between 1300 and 1500 must await detailed investigation in many places and in many collections. For the high middle ages, however, although there are no systematic records for the courts of the judge delegate there are ways of reconstructing much of the work and practice of the courts.

Over the course of the sl3, the c/C, the provincial court of the abp, came to separate itself from the abp's undifferentiated jurisdiction. The provincial court was presided over by the abp's off and, in the off's absence, by his eg. Since the eg was almost always the dean of the abp's exempt London deanery of the Arches, the chief parish of which was st Mary le Bow (sancta Maria de arcubus), the court normally sat in that church and was known as the "court of Arches'. See SCC, pp 6-37; below Ola/3/3. When the provincial court of the abp Cant became a distinct entity, two other pieces of the abp's jurisdiction also came to acquire a distinct character. The officiality for the Cant dioc remained at Cant. By the end of the century the diocesan court was firmly entrenched at Cant and was presided over by an officer known as the "commissary general of Canterbury' (eg Cant). The court itself, in accordance with the usual English practice, was known as the "consistory court of Canterbury' (cons Cant). See Woodcock, pp 6-19; SCC, pp 6-37. There remained a jurisdiction in the abp himself, not formally committed to his off or to the eg Cant. By the end of the sl3, or at the very latest, the beginning of the sl4 this jurisdiction was normally committed to the abp's "auditor of causes', and the court was known as the "audience court'. See Churchill, 1: 470-99. There still remained with the abp his claim to the prerogative to probate the testaments of decedents who left goods in more than one dioc. Over the course of the sl5 this jurisdiction developed into a separate court, the "prerogative court of Canterbury', presided over by a officer known as the "commissary of the prerogative'. See below 03/1. Cant dioc had a powerful adn whose claims to jurisdiction conflicted with those of the abp, particularly during vacancies of the see. Over the course of the sl3 this dispute over the adn's jurisdiction came to a head. See below 04/3/3. At the beginning of the sl4, the dispute was settled. The adn retained jurisdiction in certain parishes in certain matters (basically correctional cases, the probate of testaments, and instance cases except those involving marriage) with appeal lying to the court of Arches rather than to the cons Cant. The cons Cant, on the other hand, had concurrent jurisdiction in the adn's parishes, exclusive jurisdiction in other parishes (which seem to have been the only ones that the eg visited), and exclusive jurisdiction over the whole dioc in instance litigation involving marriage. A further composition in the late sl4 divided the probate jurisdiction between the two courts. See Woodcock, pp 26-29; below 04/3/3; 05. The Records. Tradition has it that the records of the court of Arches were destroyed in the great fire of London in 1666. Whatever the truth of this, relatively little survives from before 1666 at Lambeth Palace Library (LLP),

Introduction

the present repository of the substantial survivals of the court's records from the Restoration into the sl9. See M.D. Slatter, "The Records of the Court of Arches', JEH 4 (1953) 139-53; Owen, Records, 50-1.

This means that the history of the court must be pieced together from records that were kept in different places for different purposes. The registers of the abps, published in part and surviving almost complete in ms at LLP, provide valuable information about court administration (and are used to notable effect for such purposes by Churchill) and about an occasional case, but they do not contain, as they do for the abp's audience court (see 02/3/2) and for his prerogative jurisdiction (see 03/3/1), any consecutive runs of Arches material. There is a substantial amount of Arches material in the muniments of the dn&c Cant (CCA). The material dates mostly from the sl3 and has been described and edited in part in SCC. Its survival appears to be connected with the fact that the pr&c of the cath priory exercised the abp's spiritual jurisdiction during vacancies of the see. Report Ola/3 summarizes the information given in SCC and provides references to further material in CCA of the same nature. The description of c/C material given there is prefaced by a description of surviving material at CCA that dates from the early portion of the sl3 before the separation of jurisdictions had occurred (Ola/3/1). At the beginning of the sl9 a small group of CCA docs containing court material was separated from the mass of Chartae Antiquae (ChAnt) and placed in a class known as Ecclesiastical Suit Rolls (ESR). The separation was not complete. Court material remains in ChAnt, and some of the ESR have little or nothing to do with the multifarious aspects of the abp's jurisdiction. Docs recovered in the sl9 were placed in scrapbooks (eg, Sede Vacante Scrapbook (SVSB) I, Π, III; Christ Church Letters (ChCh) I, II, III; etc.), firmly separating from the ESR material that on closer examination turns out not only to belong to that category, but in many instances to the very cases represented on the rolls. The result is trying for the researcher attempting to piece together all the surviving docs .from a given case. See SCC, ρ 2. A new, quite accurate, and fully indexed handlist of the ESR is available at CCA (Bateson). There are partial indices of the scrapbooks and marginal handwritten regesta within the books themselves. These are the sources of the quotations marked with double quotation marks. Reports Ola/3, 02/3, and 04/3 attempt to list all the unpublished ESR and the docs in SVSB III, adding cross-references to other material where it is known to me. In the process, I calendared the ESR and SVSB III entirely. The former calendar has been superseded by Bateson, and what follows has been corrected in the light of it. I have deposited the calendar of SVSB ΙΠ at CCA, together with some suggested corrections to Bateson. I also went through, more or less systematically, the following classes of records: SVSB I, SVSB II, Christ Church Letters (ChCh) I, Π, and III, Eastry I-VI, Scrapbooks (SB) A, B, and C, the box labelled "Sede Vacante Visitation Rolls'

II. Canterbury

(SWR), and Canterbury Letters I and II (these last proving to have no relevant material). I sampled the registers labelled X, Y or Z, and have used the handlists of them. I have not been through the ChAnt systematically, but have simply looked at items for which I found references elsewhere, nor have I examined the registers of the pr&c in any detail. Except for the ChAnt—which remain something of an unknown quantity, particularly for diocesan material—I believe that I have most of the surviving medieval ecclesiastical court material at CCA. The Reports. Within each section the docs are listed in archive-number order for the first doc in a group. Other docs are then added to the group when they concern the same case. The index of CCA docs at the back of the book lists all the docs described in archive-number order and gives the location of the description. Where a doc contains multiple dates only the earliest is listed. In the descriptions of docs in appellate cases three types of depositions are distinguished: "depositions in' a certain type of case means that the depositions were taken in the lower court from which the appeal was taken to the c/C, "depositions to' an appeal means that the depositions were taken in the c/C but concern the proof of the appeal itself, "depositions on' an appeal means that the depositions were taken in the c/C and concern the substance of the case after it had "devolved' upon the Court, in the case of a direct appeal, or after the parties had agreed to proceed with the principal case in a tuitorial appeal, or when an appellant was seeking to enforce a tuition already granted. For these distinctions and procedures, see SCC, pp 63-4, 72-2. Each item consists of one doc (ranging in size from a scrap to a roll of one m), unless further description is given. In descriptions of jurisdictions "adn' means the off of the named adn, and "cons' the off of the named bishop. More precise descriptions of origin are preferred over less precise; where only the dioc of origin is named, the court of origin has not been determined (or there was no court of origin), but the defendant (pars rea) or the property at issue can be identified to the named dioc. Since the c/C was not subject to the direct control of the pr&c Cant after the 1270 vacancy and no further collection of Arches docs like that for the 1292-4 vacancy was made, relatively little Arches material survives at CCA from the sl4 and later centuries. What there is is listed in Ola/3/7. The report by prof F. Donald Logan (01b) describes the ms material (statutes, customs, treatises and formularies) that must be used for reconstructing the history of the c/C in the sl4, sl5 and sl6. See 01b/0. The focus of attention of vacancy docs at CCA for the s 14 is on audience jurisdiction. Most of the CCA docs listed in Report 02 can be related to one or another vacancy. A few of them concern the audience court when no vacancy was pending, or the abp's undifferentiated jurisdiction that was not formally committed to his audience court. Report 02 concludes with two important mss concerning audience jurisdiction that survive at LLP.

Introduction

Little survives at CCA that concerns the prerogative court. Report 03 gives an indication of where prerogative court records can be found. Even at the end of the sl3 docs of the cons Cant are sometimes difficult to separate from docs of the c/C, particularly during vacancies. Report 04 includes mostly material that has reference to Cant dioc and in which proceedings before the c/C do not seem to have taken place. Upon closer examination some of this material may prove to be more appropriate for Ola. Similarly, some of the docs described in Report Ola may, upon closer examination, turn out to belong to the cons Cant. As noted above, many docs concerning the dispute between the pr&c Cant and the adn Cant are listed in 04/3/3. There is also an occasional archidiaconal doc listed there, even though there is no apparent connection with the dispute. The fonds proper of the officiality of the adn does not begin until the late sl5. By this time, the great dispute concerning the adn's jurisdiction was over. The adn's court sat in rotation at Canterbury, in the western deaneries, and at Sandwich. The adn or his off also conducted visitations. See Woodcock, passim , especially pp 26-9. For an account of this court just after our period, see: V.D. List, An Imperfect Reformation: Church, State and the Local Community in PostReformation Kent (Ph.D. dissertation in history, The University of Michigan, 1991). A.J. Willis, Church Life in Kent , Being Church Court Records of the Canterbury Diocese, 1559-1565 (Chichester 1975) is also based, for the most part, on archidiaconal material.

Visitation and Other Material in Archiépiscopal Registers. There is a considerable amount of visitation material listed below, eg, 04/3/4. We have not, however, systematically searched the abps' registers at LLP (unclassed) for such material. It is clear, however, that there is quite a bit of such of such material in these registers. See Churchill, 1: 131-49, 288-347; 2: 36-40, 141-57, and sources cited there. The following separate sections concerning visitations (and a few other matters of relevance to this vol) are noted in Smith, Guide to Bps' Registers 4, 7, 9-14, 16-19: Reynolds, fols 80v-81v (ChCh Cant, 1324); Islip, fols 72r-v, 74v-76v (Cant and Rochester diocs, 1350); Courtenay, fols 86r-159v (Exeter, Bath and Wells, Worcester, Chichester, Rochester, Lincoln and Salisbury diocs, 1384-90); id (in Morton II), fols 191r194v (Cant dioc, 1393); Arundel I, fols 469r-497r (Cant, Chichester, Coventry and Lichfield, and Ely, 1397-1405; the last printed by S.J.A.

1. Early 13th Century : Some 90 docs, dating for the most part from the last years of the pontificate of abp Hubert Walter ( t 1205) survive in the CCA classes: ChCh Letters II, SVSB I, II, and III, SB A and B, Eastry III, ChAnt, and ESR. Most of these docs are correspondence, letters from Walter to comms to hear all or part of a case, letters from comms to Walter, and letters from parties (including early forms of proxies) also addressed to the abp. There are some 22 sets of depositions among the docs, two sets of pleadings and four compositions or arbitration awards. These docs together constitute the earliest records of any English church court (as opposed to records of ecclesiastical litigation preserved by a party to the case). Indeed, they may be the earliest such records which have survived anywhere. They are calendared in SCC, pp 104-14 (App I), and most of the unpublished docs other than the correspondence are printed in that volume. Others of them are printed or described in: C.R. Cheney and E. John, English Episcopal Acta III: Canterbury 1193-1205 (London 1986).

The docs printed in SCC (A1-A15) concern 15 cases: Six are about ecclesiastical offices or revenues, five marriage, one an agreement about land, one a property boundary in a cathedral close, one violence to a clerk, and one intimidation of witnesses, the subject matter of the underlying dispute being unclear. The 61 unprinted docs represent 53 separate cases. Of these 29 deal with some form of ecclesiastical property; seven or eight are breach of faith cases, six marriage cases, one testament, one sacrilege, one water rights, one excommunication. The docs in the remaining five cases give no hint of the nature of the underlying dispute. See SCC, pp 9-10. Since these docs are already listed in a source that is available in print, we do not list them here. Their archive-numbers, however, are listed in the index of CCA docs at the back of the book. The following docs from this period have come to light since the preparation of the calendar in SCC: C h A n t Ζ 134. cl200. a d n Wiltshire.

II. Canterbury 70). See, eg, SCC, pp 14-15. The discovery of the following docs confirms that suspicion. They constitute, so far as I am aware, the earliest docs that can be said to come from a separate appellate court sitting in the Arches.

4. 1270-1273 Vacancy: Records from the 1270-3 vacancy survive in substantial quantity:

a. Court of Canterbury Rolls: The "Court of Canterbury rolls' contain the acta of the c/C sede vacante . Like the plea rolls of the royal courts, these rolls are the records of the provincial court over a period of months and give us the proceedings in more than one case. They vary in length from a single m to one roll of six mm, sewn foot-to-head. Most of the rolls have a number of docs sewn along the left hand side, libels, proxies, certificates of citation, sentences, even other acta, but no depositions. A number of the miscellaneous docs in the scrapbooks have sewing holes suggesting that they were once sewn to such rolls (or to processus). These rolls are described in SCC at 17-18 and more fully in Donahue, "Institutional History', which gives a summary of the cases on the rolls in the most complete year: Sep 1271 — Aug 1272. A preliminary analysis of all the cases recorded on the rolls has been deposited at CCA. It would take up too much space to publish it all here, but I have attempted to give the references to the rolls for cases that have left survivals in other classes of Cant docs. The form of citation is extended. "ESR 222/1/5' means the fifth entry on first m of ESR 222. A n "a' following the m number means that the doc is attached to the m (the number for the attached doc itself follows, where possible, the number that is actually on the doc); a "d' means that the entry is found on the dorse; "un' in place of the m number means that the roll in its present form has only one m.

7. Documents after 1294: After the wealth of documentation for the 1292-4 vacancy, that at CCA for the sl4 is disappointing. As we note below in 01b, there is a considerable amount of Arches material that survives outside of CCA in ms formularies, statutes and treatises. We should also note that Arches material from the later Middle Ages is to be found in the muniments of many corporate religious bodies scattered throughout England. For example, a tithes dispute between a Cistercian house in Warwickshire and a Lancashire rector involved, among other things, a tuitorial appeal to the court of Arches in 1365. See A. Cottam, "An Altcar Tithes Dispute in the Fourteenth Century', Transactions of the Historic Society of Lancashire and Cheshire 72 (1930) 136-62; R.W. Hunt, "The Abbot and Convent of Merevale v. The Rector of Halsall: A Tuitorial Appeal in the Fourteenth Century Before the Court of Arches', 101 id 47-61 (based on Lancashire Record Office (see IV/00/3), DDM 19/11 and DDC1 1050). Most of what is at CCA from this period comes from 1313 when Richard de Clyve, a monk of ChCh Cant, served for a brief period as off sv. In docs below he is described as "comm Cant' since he was also the eg Cant sv.

not because they formed the archive of a court but because they were of interest to one of the participants in the case.

One case involving the pr&c, that with the adn Cant, is listed in a special section with the diocesan report, 04/3/3.

In many cases they concern the functions of the pr&c as keepers of the officiality of the province and of the dioc during vacancies. In some cases they are included simply because we have calendared the two principal repositories of court records, ESR and SVSB III, completely. Where there is no apparent relation to the judicial functions of the pr&c during vacancies, we have not included such docs (and there are many) when they appear in other classes of CCA records.

[01b]. Editor's Preface As we noted above (11/00), relatively few Arches docs survive at CCA (and virtually none at LLP) for the sl4-sl6/m. For these centuries we must look to material that survives in ms repositories rather than in archives. There is quite a large amount of this material: statutes, customs, treatises on procedure, and formularies. Some of it is at LLP; most of it is scattered in other repositories about England. In the following report, prof F. Donald Logan describes this material. Most of the ms repositories have printed catalogues, but the description of this type of material is outside the ken of the typical ms cataloguer. One must look at mss vaguely described as "miscellanea canonica' or, worse yet, "miscellanea juridica' or "chartae antiquae et miscellaneae'. Prof Logan is currently editing portions of this material for the Canterbury and York Society. In addition to the material listed below, the following formularies described elsewhere in this book contain Arches material and material from other Canterbury courts, as well: IV/06/3 F/5/36 (Ely formulary of a member of Doctors' Commons) and YV 12213 D5/24/3-5 (3 vols in the class "Dean of Salisbury Precedent Books'). BL, MS Additional 38651 (a collection of flyleaves from other mss), fol 59, may be a single fol from an act book of the court of Arches from 1543-4. 1.

1. Statutes : * LLP, Black Book of the Arches. 90 Fols. s l 3 - s l 7 . This was the authoritative collection of the statutes governing the court of Arches. The ms also contains a calendar of the court, some material concerning royal prohibitions, a partial copy of the statutes (sl7/in) and some miscellaneous liturgical material. The ms is described in detail in Churchill, 2: 206-10. Most of the statutes are printed, under the names of the abps to whom they ascribed in: David Wilkins, Concilia Magnae Bntanniae et Hiberniae, 4 vols (London 1735). Wilkins, in turn, seems to have derived most of his material from: Henry Spelman, Concilia, Décréta, Leges, Constitutiones in re Ecclesiarum Orbis Britannici, vols (1639, 1664). Where Spelman got his material is something of a puzzle. See Churchill, 2: 207-10. There are numerous medieval copies of all or some of these statutes. Particularly notable are two glossed versions: CGCC, M S 588. Fols 1-28. sl4/ex. The ms belonged to Thomas de Rippeley, LLD, who may be the author of the gloss. * O Q C , M S 54. Fols 388r-392v, 393v-404r. For this ms, see 01b/3/3, 4.

sl5/ex.

2. Customs : * O B L , M S Ashmole 1146. Fols l l l v - 1 1 5 v . cl370. Possibly as early as the sl3/ex, these customs exist in both a long and short form. This ms contains both forms, but is incomplete at the end. Copies of the customs exist in all known mss of William of Pagula's Summa summarum. Eg: * B L , M S Royal 10 D X. Fols 39va-40va. From this ms it was copied by Jacobus Anglicus into his Omne bonum: * B L , MS Royal 6 Ε VI. Fols 403va-404vb. There are also four known independent copies of the customs: * C C A , Literary MS D.8. Fols 67v-68v. sl4/in. N Consuetudines Curie Cant' et observaciones que experimento servata fuisse noscuntur'. The title is taken from the previous item but clearly belongs here. The ms consists of 99 parchment fols. Except for fols 86, 99r (dated 1324, 1317-18), the hand is the same throughout, a cursive book hand of the sl4/in. Bound with it but entirely separate, is a copy of William of Pagula's Pars oculi sacerdotis. See 01b/3/3, 4.

CTC, M S B.16.39 (James 401). Fols 41r-44v. s l 5 / m . The ms contains three main parts: (1) a collection of statutes governing the court of Arches from temp abp Winchelsey (1293-1313) to temp abp Chichele (1414-43) (fols lr(ex 5r)-39v(ex 43v); (2) a collection of miscellaneous material, including the customs and a treatise on procedure in the c/C (see 01b/3/3) (fols 41r-55v); (3) books 3-5 (fols 57r-135v) of Lyndwood's Provinciale without the gloss. Except for the introductory fols (see 01b/3/3) the ms is written throughout in a handsome cursive book hand of the sl5/m with elaborately illuminated capitals. The customs were copied from this ms into: CTC, M S B.16.34 (James 397). Fols l r - 1 0 r [2d foliation]. s l 5 / m . The first foliation of the ms (fols lr-49v) is a copy of the statutes in CTC, MS B.16.39. The ms consists of two separately foliated parts bound together. Both parts are written in a cursive book hand of the sl5/m, but they may not be the same hand. See further 01b/3/3. 3. Treatises : LIT, Petyt M S 511.3. Fols 8v-15v, 58r-60v, 66, 68, 73, 78, 82, 91, 96, 100. sl4/in. The first draft of a treatise on procedure in the court of Arches. The ms is a curious composite of cl80 fols at which a number of hands have been at work. The basic hands appear to be cursive hands of the sl4/in. The treatise is interspersed with a formulary to which it is closely related. There are also bound in with the basic ms a number of original docs of the court of Arches from the sl3/ex-sl4/in. See 01b/3/4. A large number of paragraphs of the treatise in this ms are marked V vacat'. The following ms contains almost exclusively paragraphs so marked. v C C A , Literary M S D.8. Fols 53r-67r. sl4/in. Tractatus super appellacionibus tarn directis q u a m tuitoriis secundum consuetudinem Curie C a n t " . The title is taken from the following item but clearly belongs here. See 01b/3/2.

CTC, M S B.16.39 Games 401). Fols ?2r-2v, 45r-55v. The beginning of the same treatise. The separate initial fol may be part of the same treatise or additional notes on Arches procedure. See 01b/3/2. CTC, M S B.16.34 ( J a m e s 397). Fols 10r-12v [2nd foliation]. s l 5 / m . The beginning of the same treatise, probably a copy of B.16.39. See 01b/3/2. All four mss contain all or part of the same treatise. The following, however, a practitioner's manual more than a treatise, is quite separate: O Q C , M S 54. Fols 32r-35v. sl5/ex. v Iste est modus prosequendi causas i n curia Cantuariensi'. The following may be related to the first treatise. If it is, it has undergone considerable revision and has additional citations to the academic law: OCCC, M S 72. Fols 68r-71r. s l 5 . N Q u i a cause ad curiam C a n t " . The following also appears to be quite separate: O A S C , MS 44. Fol 176v. ?sl4. "Calumpniantur Cantuariensis propter subscripta'. Another copy may be found in CSJC, MS E.3, fol 41v.

4. Formularies : Formulary books were put together by practitioners in the church courts (eg, notaries); they contain forms which interested the compiler. The form was more important than the details of an individual case. Although most of the forms were taken from actual cases, the names of litigants and lawyers as well as the dates are often—but, indeed, not always—submerged in an v et cetera'. See generally Owen, Medieval Canon Law, 30-42. Many medieval English formularies contain one or a few forms for the court of Arches. The eight that follow, however, have substantial amounts Arches material in them, which, given the non-survival of the court's later medieval acta, become essential sources.

LIT, Petyt MS 511.3. Fols lr-8r, Ιβτ -lSOpassim. sl4/in. The formulary dates from sl3/ex-sl4/in. See 01b/3/3.

CCA, Literary MS D.8. Fols lr-50r. sl4/in. Formulary from the last decade of sl3 and the first decade of sl4. The last doc is dated 9 June 1307. See 01b/3/2.

LLP, MS 221. Fols 253r-261v. sl4/ex. A short formulary with forms from the years 1358-86.

BL, MS Additional 32089. 164 fols. sl5/m. A large formulary of Arches material, most of which is undated. Those dates that do survive tend to come from the late 1370's and the 1380's (extremes: cl365 to cl390). Although the contemporary foliation stops on fol 45 (xlii), the hand and the style of fols 4r-77r is consistent. Fols 78r-131v contain different types of forms and may be written by a different hand, but what dates there are are similar to those in the first part. From fol 132r through fol 164 a number of different hands are at work and the material is decidedly more miscellaneous, with dates ranging from 1379 (fols 135-7) to at least 1447 (fol 146).

This ms is of obvious significance for the history of the abp's audience court. The entry of material is similar to that in the fragments of registers preserved at Canterbury (above 02/3/1, ChAnt A; SVSB 1125-6). 3.

Major, Handlist 82 describes this as Ncourts held by John Cocks, Vicar-general and official principal'. For the use of this terminology for the auditor of causes, see Churchill 1: 594-5. This item probably is extraneous quires from the previous item.

Canterbury, prerogative court of the archbishop. Although there were intimations of the jurisdiction in the sl3, it was not until the sl4 that the abps of began to develop their prerogative jurisdiction to probate and supervise the administration of the testaments of those who had left goods in more than one dioc. The abp would frequently grant the probate himself. Hence many probates appear in the registers of the sl4 abps. He could also commit the granting of the probate to various of his officers. Over the course of the sl5 this

jurisdiction developed into a separate court, the prerogative court of Canterbury', presided over by a officer known as the Ncommissary of the prerogative'. The fullest account of these developments is in Churchill, 1: 380-423. See also A. Bennett, The Jurisdiction of the Archbishop of Canterbury, Analecta Gregoriana 98 (Rome 1958) 179-83; E.F. Jacob, N The Archbishop's Testamentary Jurisdiction', in The Medieval Records of the Archbishops of Canterbury (London 1962) 35-49 (with references to earlier work). 2. * L L P (see 11/00, Ola/2). * Public Record Office, Chancery Lane, L o n d o n W C 2 A 1LR (Tel (071)4050741) [PRO]. For the history of the records, see Churchill, 1: 419-23. Since Miss Churchill wrote, the medieval and early modern records that were housed in Somerset House have been moved to the PRO. For most of our period the division seems artificial. Some of the probate quires were bound with the abps' registers, and so remain at LLP; others were kept separate and eventually made their way to the PRO. Modern analysis of the contents of the abps' registers is greatly aided by Smith, Guide to Bishops' Registers. The principal class of PRO docs for our period is indexed in Smith, Index of Wills in PCC. 3.

The printed register of Kempe's successor contains a similar section, although in this case there are very few wills, and the register contains mostly commissions to administer goods of intestates or to prove the wills of those who died testate: F.R.H. Du Boulay (ed), Registrum Thome Bourgchier, Cantuanensis Archiepiscopi, A.D. 1454-1486, Canterbury and York Society 54 (London 1957) 163-218. The register of Bourgchier's successor, abp Morton (1486-1500), does not contain a general section on testamentary matters, although there are some references to testamentary jurisdiction. The same is true of the sl6 abps. See Smith, Guide to Bishops' Registers, 14-21. By this period, however, the series of separate will registers is in full bloom.

2. PRO: Prob 11/1 to 11/46. 46 registers. 1384 X 1563. Registers of wills proved in the prerogative court of Canterbury. Only 11 of these registers antedate 1500, but they are of considerable interest for the history of the abp's prerogative jurisdiction. A brief introduction to them may be found in Smith, Index to Wills in PCC, 1: ix-xxvii. The book itself contains an alphabetical list of the testators with a reference to the location of the will in the registers. As the introduction to Smith, Index to Wills in PCC makes clear, a number of other classes of prerogative court docs begin in the sl6, some of them shortly before the end of our period (eg, N Filed Wills' (from 1484 but few prior to 1500), NProbate Act Books' (1526-38, 1548-55, etc), x Administration Act Books' (1535-49), N Administration Bonds' (a few temp Henry VIII), x Court Act Books' (begin in 1535 and continuous thereafter), N Inventories' (a few prior to 1600). These docs, however, basically concern the history of the court in the period after the Reformation, and so we simply notice their existence here.

1. 1278-1279 Vacancy : Most of the docs that survive from this vacancy seem to concern Robert de Chelsea, who is variously styled, most frequently as the v commissary of Canterbury'. He seems to have had a jurisdiction similar to, if a bit broader, than that of the eg Cant in the later vacancies. The jurisdiction is broader in that Robert concerns himself with exempt deaneries, such as the deanery of Arches, as well as with the dioc. (Similar terminology, perhaps with a similar meaning, is sometimes used to describe Richard de Clyve during the 1313 vacancy (see 01a/3/7).) Despite this fact it seemed better to list docs concerning Robert in this

The Dispute with the Archdeacon The adn Cant claimed vacancy jurisdiction within the dioc, and it was not until the sl4 that the dispute was resolved in favor of the pr&c. A large number of docs from the 1292-4 vacancy concern the dispute, both formal litigation docs in the case between the pr&c Cant and the adn Cant and also administrative docs emanating from the eg Cant as he attempted to impose his authority on the Kentish clergy, many of whom sided with the adn. We list first those docs that antedate the 1292-4 vacancy that seem to reveal the seeds of the dispute, next the formal litigation docs in the case, and finally administrative docs that reveal its consequences (including two from the sl4). The next subsection lists a group of docs concerned with visitation of churches sv. Some of these are related to the dispute with the adn.

The court heard both instance and ex officio business; it had sessions both at Cant and in the southern part of the dioc (Hythe, Romney and Dover); testaments were proved before it. In addition, the cg conducted visitations. Comperta et detecta at visitation could be handled on the spot, or they could result in cases before the court. Some books contain depositions, some sentences, some constitutions of proctors. Some contain loose litigation papers. The vagaries of clerical practice and of later binders have led to many surprises in these books and to little that can be said to be complete even from the point of what the medieval clerks thought they ought to be recording, much less from that of what the modern researcher would like to find. Nonetheless, these books taken as a whole represent the most substantial survivals of records from an English diocesan court, to be compared favorably with the commissary court books at Hereford. A brief printed list of these books (to 1539) may be found in Woodcock, pp 1402. A somewhat fuller chart by Woodcock and a handlist by the rev C.E. Woodruff (Catalogue 113) are available at CCA.

CHARLES DONAHUE, JR.

I I I . York Introduction As noted in the General Introduction, the medieval abps of York had a smaller and more sparsely populated province than did those of Canterbury. Further, the suffragan sees of Whithorn and Sodor and Man do not seem to have produced provincial business for the abps' courts during our period. (There may be some material for these sees from the sl6, which remains largely uncharted territory (see 01/2).) Difficulties of travel and turbulent conditions also seem to have limited the provincial business of the York abps' courts during the Middle Ages. It is not surprising, therefore, that the medieval abps of York, unlike those of Canterbury, did not develop a separate court to deal with provincial business. Rather, so far as we can tell, provincial appellate business was dealt with normally in the abp's officiality (cons court), which also heard appeals from the adns in York dioc and a large number of instance cases from the dioc. By the sl6, however, provincial jurisdiction had become considerably more complex. There were also a large number of courts within the dioc that have left at least probate records from this period. The question is how far back can we trace these separate jurisdictions. That is a question that we cannot fully answer granted the current state of research. The two books that have been published on York jurisdiction are firmly based in the sl6, and give the impression, though they do not say it, that the division of jurisdictions within the dioc and province had been in existence for a long time: C.I.A. Ritchie, The Ecclesiastical Courts of York (Arbroath 1956); R.A. Marchant, The Church under the Law: Justice, Administration and Discipline in the Diocese of York, 1560-1640 (Cambridge 1969). Marchant's work is part of three-vol study, financed by the Leverhulme Foundation in 1957; the other two vols were never published but are available in typescript at YBI; for our purposes the more important is: K.R. Burns, The Administrative System of the Ecclesiastical Courts in the Diocese and Province of York. I: The Medieval Courts (1962).

The tendency to overdifferentiate the medieval courts is exaggerated by the fact that much of the published work concerning the York courts deals with probate, which probably did have a fairly articulated system from a relatively early period. Gibson, Wilb, for example, gives the impression of a highly complicated and differentiated structure of courts, but Gibson's principal aim is to offer suggestions as to where one might look to find surviving wills.

III. York

Beginning with the abp's courts, we can say with reasonable certainty that the officiality came to be differentiated as a separate institution some time in the late sl3. As the report makes clear (01/3/1), this court developed in the sl4 into a busy court doing almost exclusively instance business. The off was aided by a eg, whose activity was sufficiently separate from that of the off that we frequently see appeals being taken from the eg to the off, and we occasionally see the eg himself appointing spec comms to hear cases. As in other English diocs the delegation to the off left an undifferentiated jurisdiction in the abp which he exercised in his court of audience. By the sl4/m, if not before, this jurisdiction was normally committed to the abp's chancellor, and the court came to be known as the abp's chancery. As was the case of many of the southern diocs, the abp retained considerable control over his audience juris diction. He could hear cases personally, and he did not have to commit a case that came to him personally to his chancellor. Whether it is proper for our period to speak of a separation between abp's audience court and his chancery court is unclear. Even in the early modern period the records of the two seem to have been kept together. Below these two courts lay a large variety of local jurisdictions. There were five adns within the dioc: York (or West Riding, with jurisdiction in the city and large parts of the West Riding), East Riding (most of the Riding), Cleveland (the northern part of the East Riding and the eastern part of the North Riding), Richmond (the rest of the North Riding, the northern part of the West Riding and parts of Lancashire, Cumberland and Westmorland), and Nottingham (basically the county of Nottinghamshire). Each adn had a court that may well antedate the separation of the cons York from the abp's undifferentiated jurisdiction. In the case of Richmond, after some controversy, this court came to operate virtually to the exclusion of the c/Y in most first-instance matters. There was also a large number of peculiars, the extent of the jurisdiction of which cannot be completely reconstructed from the medieval records. Considerably more research is needed before we can determine how and at what time jurisdictional lines were drawn among these courts. There may have been concurrent jurisdiction over certain geographical areas and certain types of matters. Nonetheless, it would seem that by the late sl4, when the records begin to be quite full, the c/Y heard many first-instance instance causes from the city and from East and West Ridings. Whether it had succeeded, as a practical matter, in ousting the instance jurisdiction of the adns of York and East Riding is a more complicated question, but relatively few records of appeal from those jurisdictions survive. On the other hand, the adns Richmond, Cleveland and Nottingham were still hearing instance causes at the end of Middle Ages, and in the case of Richmond considerably beyond the end of the Middle Ages. Ex officio jurisdiction was another matter. The abp's cons court heard virtually no ex officio cases as a matter of first instance. The temptation is strong to speculate that such cases were divided between the adns and the holders of peculiars, on the one hand, and the chancery court, on the other,

on the basis of the perceived importance and difficulty of the matter. A n additional complexity is introduced by archiépiscopal visitations. We may speculate that as in other diocs when an ex officio matter could not be resolved on the spot by the abp or his comm conducting a visitation, it ended up in the chancery court without regard to its difficulty or importance. A n unusual feature of the jurisdiction of the abp York is that routine probate matters were handled in a separate exchequer court under the supervision of the abp's comm of the exchequer. Unlike the prerogative court of Canterbury (11/03), the exchequer court never confined itself to testators who left goods in more than one dioc. Indeed, in the early modern period the prerogative testamentary jurisdiction of the abp came to be thought of as separate from the exchequer court, although for all of the period under consideration here prerogative and exchequer records seem to have been kept together. At some point, perhaps relatively early in its existence, the chancery court acquired jurisdiction to probate wills of beneficed clergy in the dioc and wills presented for probate during periods of archiépiscopal visitations. This fact gives us some clue as to the nature of the court's ex officio jurisdiction. Routine probate was distinguished in York from testamentary litigation. A considerable amount of the latter is found in the cons court throughout our period. The present state of our knowledge does not allow us to say whether such litigation is also to be found in the exchequer court throughout our period. It certainly seems to have been so at the end of our period. Routine probates clearly took place before the adns Richmond and Nottingham and many of the peculiar courts during our period. These courts also seem to have dealt with probate litigation, at least as a matter of first instance. We can be less certain about the other adns and others of the peculiar courts. The reorganization of the northern province in 1540-1 was probably the catalyst for the clarification and differentiation of the abp's provincial courts. Appellate jurisdiction in ex officio matters tended to go to the chancery court, that in instance matters to the cons court. Appellate jurisdiction in probate matters was divided between the two in a way that still needs to be explored. The two reports that follow are devoted to the cons court and the court of the dn&c of the cath. We list below all the records of York provincial courts and of courts within the dioc surviving from our period that are not the subject of a separate report. Our differentiation of the jurisdictions is based on the situation in the early modern period, and, as suggested above, should be used with caution when speaking of the Middle Ages. The source of our information is noted, except where the information is derived from Gibson, Wills, in which case we simply give the date of the earliest will that he notes. Jurisdictions preceded by a dagger ( t ) have material that to our knowledge goes beyond routine probates. Numbers have been added to the list for ease of reference.

This is complemented by an equally impressive handlist of the cause papers of the sl4 (CP.E): Smith, Cause Papers. Although I have examined all the files in the CP.Ε series, what is offered below (01/3/1) follows Smith, except that it does not include the personal and place names found in his handlist (and his notes on persons) but does include some legal detail not found in Smith. (My order differs from Smith's in that I have attempted to put files that are dated only approximately into chronological order. For an index of location by file number see the index to YBI docs below.) For the cause papers of the sl5 and sl6, there is an older ms handlist at the YBI. My list of the CP.F papers offered below (01/3/2) suggests that a new list is called for. The CP. G series is largely uncharted territory. The list below (01/3/3) includes a few files that appeared in the course of systematic examination of CP.E and CP.F. The numbers in the CP series following the slash are my additions. Some of the files have numbers on the individual docs, and these have been used where possible, but the only number normally employed at YBI is the first one, and that is the number that should be used when ordering files. In addition to the brief analyses published of the sl4/l marriage cases in Donahue, N Policy' and the discussions of and extracts from the sl4 and sl5 marriage cases in Helmholz, Marriage, both noted below, there is an analysis of the entire run of sl4 and sl5 marriage cases in C. Donahue, NFemale Plaintiffs in Marriage Cases in the Court of York in the Later Middle Ages: What Can We Learn from the Numbers?', in S.S. Walker (ed), Wife and Widow in Medieval England (1993) 183-213. There is also a recent PhD dissertation on the sl4 marriage cause papers: F.J.G. Pedersen, Romeo and Juliet of Stonegate : Marriage Litigation and the Ecclesiastical Courts in York in the Fourteenth Century, University of Toronto PhD Dissertation (1992). Social historians are beginning to explore this unusually rich material. See, eg, P.J.P. Goldberg, vMarriage, Migration, Servanthood and Life-Cycle in Yorkshire Towns of the Later Middle Ages: Some York Cause Paper Evidence', Continuity and Change 1(2) (1986) 141-69. Unless otherwise noted the marriage cases described below are two-party cases in which the act is seeking to enforce a marriage (normally de presenti and informal). Defenses are not noted unless they are of particular interest. A separate set of processus on appeal contains a few items within our time period. The source of my information here (below 01/3/4) is W.J. Sheils (ed),

Ecclesiastical Cause Papers at York: Files Transmitted on Appeal, 1500-1883, Borthwick Texts and Calendars 9 (York 1983). The act books are listed summarily in Smith, Guide to YBI. The description below (01/3/5) is expanded in the cases where I have examined the book. In addition to what is listed below, the archiépiscopal registers at YBI contain a considerable amount of legal material. For details, see Smith, Guide to Bps' Registers, 234-50. Particularly notable is *Reg 8A-B, two large (17 and 18 mm) parchment rolls containing the processus of abp Greenfield's visitation of Durham dioc sv in 1311. Earlier visitation material may be found in W. Brown (ed), The Register of Walter Giffard, Lord Archbishop of York, 1266-1279, Surtees Society 109 (Durham 1904) 320-6 (fols 143r-145d of Reg 2, visitation of two parishes appropriated to Selby abbey); id, The Register of William Wickwane, Lord Archbishop of York, 1279-1285, id 114 (1907) 130-51 (visitation of religious houses; similar material may be found in many of the subsequent registers under the section devoted to the adnry in which the religious house lay), 153-78 (visitation of Durham dioc and subsequent dispute; see Brentano, York Metropolitan Jurisdiction, 115-47). Reg Greenfield, 5: 198-241, contains the record of proceedings before the abp arising out of his visitations of 1308-9 (partially calendared; the style seems much like that of the audience courts of this period). A. Hamilton Thompson, N Documents Relating to the Visitations of the Diocese and Province of York', in Miscellanea 2, Surtees Society 127 (Durham 1916) 152-290, prints extracts on the topic from the registers of abps Bowet (Reg 18, 1407-23) and Kempe (Reg 19, 1426-52). J. Raine (ed), The Injunctions and Other Ecclesiastical Proceedings of Richard Barnes, Bishop of Durham, from 1576 to 1587, Surtees Society 22 (Durham 1850), app I, pp i-xl, prints from a transcript of Reg 25, fols 142r-160r, the visitation sv of Durham city and dioc by abp Savage. A roll and docs concerning the visitation of dn&c of the cath cl509 are to be found in YBI, D/C.VP. Further visitation material is referenced in 00/6 and 00/13. Many of the sl3/2 and sl4 registers have a separate section devoted to the abp's dealings with the officiality, eg, W. Brown (ed), The Register of Thomas of Corbridge, Lord Archbishop of York, 1300-1304, 1, Surtees Society 138 (Durham 1925) 1-19; Reg Greenfield, 1: 107-63; and the registers of abps Melton (Reg 9B, fols 689r-700r, Dec 1317 — Jan 1338), Zouche (Reg 10, fols 242r-252r, Nov 1342 - Jun 1352) and Thoresby (Reg 11, fols lr-80r, Aug 1352 — Jul 1373) (in the last case mingled in with material relating to the cath and collegiate chapters). The Zouche register (Reg 10, fols 347r-356v) and those of abp William Booth (Reg 20, fols 290r-326r, Aug 1453 - Feb 1464) and abp Rotherham (Reg 23, fols 313r-317v, Sep 1488 - Dec 1499) have sections dealing with criminous clerks. The Booth register also contains (Reg 20, fols 361r-366v) proceedings in a delegated case, 1456-8. Reg 13 (see above 00/06) is a formulary of archiépiscopal docs, many of them legal in nature, broadly from sl4 and sl5, and more specifically focused on temp abp Neville (1374-88). See Owen, Medieval Canon Law, 33.

III. York 1. Cause Papers—Fourteenth Century: The York cause papers are notable not only for their quantity but also for the amount of information they contain. Particularly in the sl4/2 and s l 5 / l they almost always are endorsed with the name or names of the proctors involved in the case; the libels are frequently endorsed with acta in the case; sometimes the depositions are endorsed with sentences. All of this suggests that the court personnel were relying on the cause papers to keep track of the progress of the litigation. That, in turn, suggests an explanation for the relative absence of act books from this period (but see 01/3/4). From the sl5/m the practice of endorsing the papers with information about the case ceases (the number of surviving cause papers is also fewer in the sl5/2). That would suggest that from this period more reliance was being placed on the act books. It also suggests a decline in the business of the court in this period. The cause papers increase dramatically in quantity in the sl6/in.

Ol. York (cons)/3/

These processus were found in a separate class of docs at YBI. They were therefore not integrated with the main class of cause papers but catalogued separately and given class names that indicate the court a quo. They largely concern the period after ours. I list here the relatively few that fall within our period. In all cases they are compiled processus only, ie, the docs copied into the processus concern the proceedings in the court from which appeal was taken to the c/Y. They are listed here as they are in the handlist (01/2), by the date of the appeal and without regard to the court a quo. If a second date is given, it is the date of the first proceedings in the processus.

Like all the York books of judicial acta, this one contains day-by-day accounts of the procedural steps taken in each case. The substance of the claims is frequently difficult to determine from these entries, but they are useful when combined with the cause papers. Sentences are, at least sometimes, recorded in the acta. This book differs from Cons.AB 1 (see below) in that it records a number of recognizances. Some use of this vol and of the following is made in Donahue, N Stubbs', 657-70.

some judicial acta and many recognizances. Many of the entries do not follow in chronological order (eg, fols 57r-57v, 1421-6; fols 69r-76v, 1406-11), a product apparently of the fact that a number of independent quires were later bound together. Not all of this material concerns the cons court (many proctors practiced in both courts). Fol 8v records an act of the dn&c court, and the entry on fol 36v of excessus (largely if not exclusively fornication and adultery) probably concerns that court.

York, court of the dean and chapter of York cathedral. For the history this court and its relationship to other York jurisdictions, see III/00. A good brief discussion may be found in S. Brown, The Medieval Courts of the York Minster Peculiar, Borthwick Paper 66 (York 1984), which is based on her university of York D. Phil, thesis, The Peculiar Jurisdiction of York Minster During the Middle Ages (unpublished 1980). Both provide clues as to the location of legal material in classes of records at YML other than those noted below.

2. * YBI (see 01/2). * Y M L (see 01/2). The records of the jurisdiction of the dn&c are divided between YBI and YML. There is one specialized handlist: K.M. Longley (ed), Ecclesiastical Cause Papers at York : Dean and Chapter's Court, 1350-1843, Borthwick Texts and Calendars 6 (York 1980), from which the following description of the cause papers is, for the most part, taken. For YBI, Smith, Guide to YBI gives a summary account of the rest. There is a ms handlist at YML. In what follows the item is at YBI unless it is preceded by YML. In addition to what is listed below there are separate classes of chapter act books and visitation books at YML. Some sense for the legal material in them may be obtained from J. Raine, jr (ed), The Fabric Rolls of York Minster, Surtees Society 35 (Durham 1859) 242-74, which prints extracts from both classes of records from 1362-1550. While the extracts deal only with the fabric and ornament of the churches visited, the editor makes clear that there is much within the records that concerns the morals of both clergy and laity. 3.

Judicial acte. Other than a brief listing in Donahue, x Institutional History', 54, this remarkably early vol has not, so far as I know, received any printed notice. It is accurately described in the handlist as Register of recognizances and other business in the court of audience of the dn&c'. Recognizances (called condempnationes) predominate, though there are some ex officio and instance matters as well. The bracketing dates do not include the ordination of vicarage of Bole (a prebendal peculiar in Notts) in 1334 (fol 55v). The book was bound at an early date (roughly contemporary foliation at the top). The end papers (pp i-iv) are from a ms of the learned law, perhaps a lectura on the title Ad legem falcidiam (Digest 35.2; Code 6.50). * Y M L , M 2 ( l ) f . 75 fols. 1357X1420.

Some of these latter proceedings are entered in full and give a better idea than do most ex officio books of steps taken in a formal ex officio procedure. Toward the end of the book there are mixed into the judicial acta miscellaneous acts of the chapter that do not concern contentious matters. Some of these go

beyond the bracketing dates indicated above (last one 71485). The presence of this material in this book suggests that judicial material may also be found in the regular series of chapter act books.

Probate Material The dn&c exercised the abp's jurisdiction sv and hence probates that occur in the sv registers are, in fact, probates of the dn&c, although, of course, they extend to the whole prov. The matter is confused by the fact that there is some, though not much, overlap between YBI, Reg 5A, which contains sv registers for most of our period (see Smith, Guide to YBI , 7-8; Smith, Guide to Bps' Registers, 235-5), and a composite register YML, M2(4)f, known as "Registrum antiquum de testamentis'. The latter appears to contain for the most part normal capitular business conducted during periods that happened to have been vacancies (see Smith, Guide to Bps' Registers, 238). The following indices do not make this distinction and hence are less than usually useful for the researcher looking for court records: Index of York Wills, above 00/1 (includes many sv probates (probably Reg.5A) by the dn&c); Index of York Peculiar Wills (derived from a sv register for 1336-43 (probably M2(4)f) and from the dn&c chapter act books for 1352-1429). YBI also holds filed sv wills for the vacancies from 1464 (Smith, Guide to YBI, 160). YBI holds filed wills from 1383 and will registers from 1557; YML holds will registers from 1321-1558 and probate act books from 1559. See Smith, Guide to YBI, 160; Index of Wills, etc, from the Dean and Chapter's Court at York, A.D. 1321 to 1636, YAS 38 (York 1907).

IV. Other Diocesan and Lesser Church Courts Introduction This Chapter takes up much less space than does Chapter II and not much more space than Chapter ΠΙ, but there is more documentation reported on here than in both Chapters II and ΠΙ combined. The material in this Chapter can be described in short compass because large amounts of it consists of act or deposition books, easy to describe, but substantial in bulk. Much of this material is also of a relatively late date. There is more from the sl6 in these reports than there is from the sl3, sl4 and sl5 combined, despite the fact that we have focused our attention on the earlier centuries. Nonetheless, the material for the earlier centuries is substantial. The bulk of the work reflected in this Chapter is by prof Helmholz. He is solely responsible for Reports 01-5, 08, 16-18, and 25. Reports 09-10, 12-15 and 20 are my own. Report 21 is by prof Sayers. I put together Reports 11 and 22-4 on the basis of the work of others. Reports 06-7 are a joint effort: dr Owen contributed most of the material, and I wrote them up. Report 19 is also joint effort: I contributed 19/3/1, and prof Helmholz 19/3/2. The jurisdictions reported on in this chapter are listed in alphabetical order without regard to the province or, in the case of courts below the diocesan level, the dioc. Coventry and Lichfield diocesan material is listed under Lichfield and Bath and Wells under Wells, because the latter places are where the courts sat. As noted in the general introduction, our reports focus on court archives containing diocesan material from before 1500. Once we went to the archive, we tried to list all pre-1563 church court material (whether or not diocesan) that survives in a court archive. By correspondence with archivists, by reference from others and through printed references, we are aware of the existence of material in archives that we did not visit, either because they had no pre-1500 material in a court archive or because that material did not come from a diocesan court. In the case of four of these archives, LeRO, WRO, SRO and HaRO (see 11/2, 22/2, 23/2 and 24/2), we wrote reports on the basis of information that we had to hand. As also noted in the general introduction, we made no systematic search for separately classed probate records, though we have noted them when we came across them. A rather large number of English ecclesiastical courts

154

IV. Other Diocesan

have surviving records that appear to consist entirely of probate matters. Modern practice (a practice of ancient origins; see 20/3/2) has sometimes separated these records from records of contentious jurisdiction or even from records of general ecclesiastical material. It is not at all clear, however, that those who made the records always had the same idea of what belongs where as did later probate registrars. The Buckingham material, below 00/11, is a good example of what can be done to reconstruct the business of a court from records that have been dismembered in later centuries. There is thus the possibility, particularly in the case of the earlier records, that probate records contain more than routine probates. This seems to be particularly likely in the case of will or probate registers from the later middle ages. The following list notes all records of which we are aware that fall within the scope of this Chapter and that are not in our reports. (Some of the courts, eg, the courts of the chancellors of the universities of Oxford and Cambridge, are perhaps not, strictly speaking, "ecclesiastical', but it seemed best to err on the side of inclusiveness.) A similar list for York (courts within the dioc and provincial courts) may be found above in III/00. The source of our information is noted, except where the information is derived from Gibson, Wills , in which case we simply give the date of the earliest will that he notes. Jurisdictions preceded by a dagger ( t ) have material that to our knowledge goes beyond routine probates. Numbers have been added to the list for ease of reference, and the material is organized by dioc. 01. tBristol dioc, officiality (cons court) of the bp. Bristol Record Office, Council House, Bristol BS1 5TR. I.M. Kirby, Diocese of Bristol: A Catalogue of the Records of the Bishop and Archdeacons and of the Dean and Chapter (Bristol 1970) lists the following ecclesiastical court and visitation books for our period: EP/J/1/1, 150 ff, 1545-66; EP/J/1/2, 40 ff, 1566; EP/J/1/3, 88 pp, 1557-8; EP/J/1/4, 40 ff, 1558-82; EP/J/1/5, 708 pp, 1559-64. The first in particular merits attention because it contains a visitation of the adnry of Dorset (1545) and depositions (1546-56). Wills from 1546 (no published index for our period); will register (1559-72; DC/A/6/4/1; see id, ρ 98 for references to published index and transcriptions; see also E. and S.

31. Worcester dioc, chapters of the court of the ?rural dean of Wich (court of the ?adn Worcester). Worcester Cathedral Library, 10A College Green, Worcester WR1 2LH. Roll C/885/A. 1 m. 1300. Printed: F.S. Pearson, "Records of a Ruridecanal Court of 1300', in S.G. Hamilton (ed), Collectanea, Worcestershire Historical Society (London 1912). My hesitancy about the identification of the court is based on the fact that the editor's argument that this must be a ruridecanal chapter because someone cited from Hartlebury is described as "non de jure' (pp iii, 78) is not convincing because Hartlebury, at least in the sl5, was a peculiar (see IV/25/3, 009.1 BA 2636) and hence would have been equally exempt from archidiaconal as well as decanal jurisdiction. The place names in the Worcester record do all seem to come from the former deanery of Wich, but the adn or his off could have kept his rolls by deanery. There is evidence of ruridecanal jurisdiction in East Anglia in this period. See P. Hyams, "Deans and Their Doings: The Norwich Inquiry of 1286', in S. Kuttner and K. Pennington (eds), Proceedings of the Sixth International Congress of Medieval Canon Law, Monumenta Iuris Canonici C.7 (Città del Vaticano 1985) 619-46). For what seems to be more of the same, see 00/24. Cf Owen, "Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction', 203 nl4, citing Cumbria Record Office (see 00/02), DRC2/7, 8, 21, as evidence that rural dns there were exercising archidiaconal jurisdiction in the absence of an adn. Other than this, we have little evidence that rural dns in England in this period had a broader jurisdiction than occasional probate of testaments. City dns (dns of Christianity), at least in some places, may have been an exception. See, eg, Index of Persons and Places under York [Yorks], urban dn of.

Its judicial records, however, appear to have been continuous, the only important change being that appeals from the court after 1541 went to the provincial court at York (see III/01). Smith, Guide to Bps' Registers , 260-1, reports that CRO, EDA 2/1, which is basically a register of wills (1541-75), also contains probate inventories, sentences in matrimonial cases, and all that survives of the registers of the early Chester bps. Probate records (including those that date from the period before the foundation of the see) are at the Lancashire Record Office in Preston (see III/00/10). Through the kindness of the archivist of the Lancashire Record Office, we can report that EDA 2/1 (which is actually three separate items) also contains some material from 1525-41.

Canterbury, Ely, court of the archdeacon. The limits of archidiaconal jurisdiction were fixed by a laudum imposed by abp Arundel in 1401 after a prolonged dispute between the bp and the adn. The bp was given complete jurisdiction, including probate of wills, in the whole of the Isle of Ely and in nine exempt towns in the county where he had manors. The adn had ordinary jurisdiction and rights of visitation, excluding matrimonial cases, in the county, excluding the exempt towns and in two towns in the Isle, but his probate jurisdiction extended only to three rural deaneries.

Canterbury, Hereford, officiality (consistory court) and court of the commissary general of the bishop. The episcopal jurisdiction in Hereford dioc was shared between an off and a cg. The off stayed in Hereford and heard, so far as I can tell, only instance cases. The cg conducted v rural consistories', peripatetic courts that met in each deanery at intervals of approximately three weeks. Although the cg heard a large number of office cases, his jurisdiction was not confined to such cases. He also regularly dealt with probate matters, and he did hear some instance cases, although not very complicated ones. When an instance case became complicated, it was transferred to the off. This means that the traditional division of the Hereford act books into v instance' and N office' is not quite accurate. The N office' books are in fact the books of the court of cg and include probate and instance as well as office cases. The v instance' books contain mostly, if not exclusively, instance cases, but what distinguishes them is the fact that they record proceedings before the off. All of this may have changed in the later period. The fact that the books were so labelled suggests that it did, but what I have said above seems to hold good throughout the sl5. There is an unpublished thesis dealing with these courts that I have been unable to examine: E.L. Lonsdale, The Episcopal Administration in the Diocese of Hereford (Liverpool M.A. thesis, 1957).

2. * Hereford Record Office, The Old Barracks, Harold Street, Hereford HR1 2QX (Tel (0432)265441) [HfRO]. The HfRO, now managed by the county council of Hereford and Worcester, is the repository for the episcopal records. Records of the dn&c are at HCLM described in IV/10. What follows is the result of a search made in the summer of 1984. According to Gibson, Wills, 59, the probate material (wills from 1517) for this jurisdiction is at the National Library of Wales in Aberystwyth. Whether the probate acta listed below in 09/3/3 are an exception or whether the probate material was returned to Hereford after Gibson wrote, I was unable to determine. The British Record Society has recently published a comprehensive guide to this probate material in microfiche: M.A. Farraday and E.J.L. Cole (eds), Calendar of Probate and Administration Acts, 1407-1541 and Abstracts of Wills, 1541-1581, in the Court Books of the Bishop of Hereford, BRS Microfiche Series 2 (London 1989). In addition to the material listed below, two of the Hereford episcopal registers, that of bp Trefnant (1389-1404) and bp Mascall (1404-16) contain a considerable amount of litigation material, including in the case of the former the processus of a large dispute with the dn&c of Hereford cath and a number of proceedings against heretics with an unusual amount of detail. Both are printed: W.W. Capes (ed), Registrum Johannis Trefnant, episcopi Herefordensis, A.D. MCCCLXXXIXMCCCCIV, Cantilupe Society (Hereford 1914) ( = C&YS 20, 1916); J.H.

IV. Other Diocesan 1. Act Books of the Commissary General :

* Acts of Office, Box 1, Oil . 12 pp. N o v 1407 - M a y 1408. Judicial acta . The Hereford act books carry two sets of numbers. The older system gives a lower case Roman numeral to each vol. It runs consecutively throughout the "office' and "instance' series by date, beginning with Ol2, below, which is vol i, of the old series, the first "instance' book being vol xviii. The new numbering system is easier to use and will be used here throughout. When one is ordering vols at the archive, it is best to ask for the whole box. The oldest of the Hereford eg books is incomplete, its preservation being due to the fact that these pages were used to bind 013, below. An impressionistic survey of the contents of these pages suggest that there are more civil matters here and fewer criminal than there are in the next generation. The state of repair of all of this material leaves much to be desired. These pages, in particular, have scotch tape on them. * Acts of Office, Box 1, 0 / 2 . 112 p p . Oct 1442 - Jul 1443.

The first of the complete eg Hereford act books, like all the succeeding ones, takes us on a tour of the dioc, deanery by deanery. At Weobley on 8 Oct 1442, the comm heard two cases of fornication, one of adultery and the beginning of an instance case brought by the churchwardens against ten men for failure to render dues to the parish guild of the Virgin. At Kenchester on 5 Nov the fornication and adultery cases continued; seven wills were proven; two new cases of fornication, one of adultery, and an instance case of reclamation of banns on the ground of precontract were begun. The range of cases, jurisdiction, and relatively simple procedure (most criminal cases lead to compurgation) are typical of the rest of the of the books I examined. * Acts of Office, Box 1, 0 / 3 . 167 p p (numbered 7-174, the former p p 1-6, 175-80, n o w being Oil).

These records are substantial. One of them is printed (no 1779, 26 fols in all): A.T.

Hereford's late medieval act books are among the richest in all of England. They provide insight into the workings of the church courts in a rural diocese, the legal and social networks within which can be untangled from these books. The cg's court seems to have been the lowest level ecclesiastical court in operation. There is no evidence here that the adns in this period had their own courts. It is a shame that the Hereford court papers, as opposed to the act books, do not begin until late in the sl7, but much can be determined from the books even without the papers.

The docs are all listed in Charles and Emanuel, Calendar and merit further study in their own right. Since they are not, however, a "court archive' as we have used that term, listing of them individually here would take us too far afield.

Canterbury, Coventry and Lichfield, officiality (consistory court) and audience court of the bishop. The earliest see was Lichfield. Chester became the bp's see in 1075, Coventry in 1102. From 1075 the bp styled himself Nbishop of Chester', and the title remained in official use during the sl2/in and unofficially much later. The official title was v bishop of Coventry' from the sl2/m (despite the continuing claim of Lichfield to be a see) until 1228; from this time v Coventry and Lichfield' was the usual title until the Reformation. After the Reformation v Lichfield and Coventry' was the title (although there was no see at Coventry) until 1836 when the title became v Lichfield'. Meanwhile, Chester became the see of a separate bishopric in 1541, and Coventry became a see of another bishopric in 1918. Handbook of British Chronology, 253 n l .

For the probate records, see 12/2 and Gibson, Wills, 120-1 (includes other peculiars within the dioc).

IV. Other Diocesan

180

[14]. 1.

Canterbury, Lincoln, officiality (consistory court), audience court, and commissaries in the archdeaconries of the bishop. Ecclesiastical jurisdiction in Lincoln dioc was complicated, a product of the fact that the dioc was large and archidiaconal jurisdiction remained significant for a longer period than it did in many other English diocs. By the sl5/m we can distinguish the jurisdictional pattern fairly clearly, but it is not yet possible to put precise dates on when each of the institutions emerged: At the center of the dioc, but meeting (if the one surviving record of acta is typical) more often in Stamford than in Lincoln, was the cons court, presided over by the bp's off, and hearing, in contrast to most English cons courts, only instance cases (cf Hereford and York). The central court for ex officio matters was the bp's audience court, presided over by his cg, who, by the sl5/ex tended to be the same person as his off. Each of the adnries had both a court of the adn's off and a comm of the bp. The comms may not have held court in their own right until the sl6, but already by the end of the sl5 the tendency was for the adn's off and the bp's comm for a particular adnry to be the same person. See Morris, v Consistory', and Morris, v Commissary'. In addition to the items at LAO, see 06/3, F/5/35 (Ely formulary with Lincoln material).

2. *LAO (see II/01b/2). There is a published handlist of the diocesan material at LAO: Major, Handlist, from which all the quoted descriptions of the unseen items in what follows are taken. For the dn&c material and for some of the boxes of loose papers reference must be had to the various handlists kept at LAO. The surviving probate material from all sources is calendared in C.W. Foster (ed), Calendars of Lincoln Wills. I: 1320-1600, BRS 28 (London 1902) (bp's registers, miscellaneous docs, consistory court); id, Calendars of Administrations in the Consistory Court of Lincoln, BRS 41 (London 1921), and Foster, Lincoln Peculiar Wills. For further material from the adnries and the peculiars, see 00/10-14, 16, 25, 11/3. For a see that left so many important survivals of medieval records, including a splendid series of episcopal registers, pre-Reformation diocesan court records from Lincoln have a disappointing survival rate. A considerable amount can be gleaned from the episcopal registers (see, eg, Morris, x Consistory' and Morris, N Commissary' and below). More material has come to light in the provincial material at Canterbury (see II/01a/3), and more will indubitably be discovered by more careful analysis of the surviving formularies (eg, II/01b/3/4). A miscellaneous vol in the episcopal registers series (Add.Reg.2) contains a considerable amount of litigation material from the sl6/m to sl7/in with copies of sl4 to sl6 docs exhibited in causes. See Smith, Guide to Bps' Registers, 132. Earlier episcopal registers contain: a fol of a register of causes sv (bp Dalderby's register, Mar-May 1320, Episcopal Register II, fol 356); proceedings concerning criminous clerks (bp Bek's register, 1342-7, Episcopal Register VII, fols 107r-113r; bp Gynwell's register, 1347-8, Episcopal Register VIII, fol 33r) and a section of commissions to hear cases and conduct inquiries (id, 1347-9, fols 15r-17v). See Smith, Guide to Bps' Registers, 110, 112-3. Material concerning visitations of religious houses is common in the Lincoln episcopal registers of the sl4 and sl5.

All proceedings that I was able to examine took place before mr Richard Lavendre, adn Leicester, 1485-1508, and prebendary of Sutton cum Buckingham, 1481-1508. All proceedings seem to take place at Buckingham, and delegation from the bp is not mentioned in any record that I was able to examine. This seems to be a court of a prebendal peculiar. Ex officio entries seem to predominate.

Printed: M. Bowker (ed), An Episcopal Court Book for the Diocese of Lincoln, 15141520, Lincoln Record Society 61 (Lincoln 1967), which gives a full account of this book. It is miscellaneous in nature and probably incomplete. The bulk of the cases come before the court either at the instance of the parties or as a result of visitation. The bp conducts the court personally on many occasions. When he does not, it is conducted by his vg, who also served as his eg and official principal.

See also below 15/3, D&C/A/1/14.

3. Visitation

Books :

The Lincoln visitation books are diverse and of considerable interest. They are arranged by adnry and frequently include both episcopal material and material relating to the bp's comm and the off of the adn. A good introduction to aspects of them that are of particular interest to these reports is Bowker, "Archdeacons' Court Books'. The books in a separate class dealing with the adnry of Leicester (Viv) are listed in 11/3/3. Visitation material is also found in the episcopal registers (above, 14/2) and in the court books (above, 14/3/1). In addition to the printed material listed below, there are extracts from the sl5-sl7 episcopal visitation material printed by E. Peacock, "Extracts from Lincoln Episcopal Visitations in the Fifteenth, Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries', Archaeologia 48 (1890) 249-69. Considerable use of those records pertaining to the Newarke in Leicester (particularly Vj.8, below) is made in A. Hamilton Thompson, The History of the Hospital and the New College of the Annunciation of St. Mary in the Newarke, Leicester (Leicester 1937) (originally published in Associated Architectural and Archaeological Societies Reports and Papers 32 (1913-14) 245-92, 515-68, 33 (1915-16) 178-215, 412-72).

A useful monograph based on them is Wunderli, London Church Courts. There is also a handlist available at the GRLO. For the probate records, see I. Darlington (ed), London Consistory Court Wills , 1492-1547, London Record Society 3 (1967). The act books for London dioc generally give less information about the nature of litigation than is true for some other English diocesan records (eg, Canterbury or Norwich). The deposition books are naturally quite a bit fuller, and overlap in time with some of the act books. No cause papers or records of processus survive from the sl6 or before. Anyone intending to use the GLRO should know that almost all of the records listed below have been marked "unfit for production' (in many cases quite without justification) and are available only on microfilm. The quality of filming is uneven; some fols are blurred and quite difficult to read. I found that the staff of the GLRO were willing to consult the original doc when this happened. * G u i l d h a l l Library, A l d e r m a n b u r y , L o n d o n EC2P 2EJ (Tel (071)260-1862) [LGL].

The subject matter of the cases registered here is not always given, but matrimonial, tithe, testamentary and defamation cases would seem to predominate, following the normal English pattern. The court sessions are divided into consistories. The following vols also fall into this pattern. No probate acta appear.

Rather cons court material (mostly, it would seem, ex officio) is mixed in with administrative acts, probates, grants of marriage licenses etc. Five vgs are involved (of whom Richard Foxford (1530-3) is the last), the subsequent entries being in the names of men described as comms of the bp and presidents of the cons.

This was a subofficiality of the bp covering the city of London and the deaneries of Middlesex and Barking, ie, the immediate surrounding of the city. The court was granted only criminal (ie, ex officio) jurisdiction by the bp, although this restriction was observed in form only, many of the cases heard obviously involving disputes between private parties. The court sat frequently throughout the year (from three to six days during most weeks).

There is a handlist for the records listed below, kept at the LGL. There is, however, no published guide to the ecclesiastical material besides the general Guide to Archives and Manuscripts at Guildhall, London (London 1989). For information about the nature of the material one may consult W. Hale, A Series of Precedents and Proceedings in Criminal Causes 1475-1640 (1st ed London 1847, reprint with a new introd by R.W. Dunning, 1973). Much of adn Hale's material is taken from the Acta quoad correctionem delinquentium (MS 9064/1 et seq). Some of it is derived from records that have since been lost. Wunderli, London Church Courts is also useful. For the probate records, see 17/3/2. Working conditions at LGL are excellent; all material listed below is accessible, and the archivists are interested and helpful. 3.

1. Judicial acta: * M S 9064/1. c250 fols. 1470-3. Judicial acta styled "Acta quoad correctionem delinquentium'. The bulk of offenses found in this, and most other vols listed below, concern sexual matters (adultery, fornication, pandering). Defamation also forms a large part, and (before 1520) breach of faith cases brought to collect debts contracted by means of an oath. Also found, although in lesser numbers, are prosecutions relating to usury, tithes, sorcery, non-attendance at church, refusal to pay customary oblations, and the like. The series is very rich in the amount of information recorded about individual cases, although it contains no depositions or formal testimony. Others in the series follow the pattern in this vol except where noted. Procedure was summary, proof normally by purgation. The book is not divided into consistories; rather each case was recorded in full under the first heading. It is evident that many of the matters heard were in essence private actions, both because the prosecutions are often dismissed after agreement of the parties, and because (especially in defamation and breach of faith cases) the acta record the particular individual harmed by the alleged offense and details about the offense. * M S 9064/2. 1483-9. Judicial acta similar to 9064/1. * M S 9064/3. c280 fols. 1480-3, 1475-7. Judicial acta similar to 9064/1.

IV. Other Diocesan

MS 9065J/2. 1525-9. Judicial acta. According to present information, this series has a gap after 9065J/2. It begins again in 1582. This lacuna may be the result of incomplete cataloguing, and it is not impossible that further vols may be found. 2. Probate acta:

* MS 9168/1. 1496-1500. Probate acte. The comm court also exercised jurisdiction over the proof of testaments for the city of London and the deaneries of Middlesex and Barking. This vol, first in a regular series, records the proof of testaments, grants of administration of estates, supervision of accounts by executors and administrators, and other matters relating to probate jurisdiction. The actual testaments are not found in this series, but were kept in a separate set of registers (MS 9171/1 et seq). This latter series has been indexed: M. Fitch (ed), Index to Testamentary Records in the Commissary Court of London (London Division) Now Preserved in Guildhall Library , London. I: 13741488, II: 1489-1570, BRS 82, 86 (London 1969, 1974). The editor notes that the earlier books (up to 1489) contain "both Wills, Probate Acts and Acts of Administration as well as a number of non-testamentary entries' (id, 1: vi).

* MS 9168/2. 1503-5. Probate acta. MS 9168/1. 1508-13. Probate acta. I have not been able to examine the following vols in this series, but the handlist indicates that there are nine more vols (twelve in all) covering the years before 1560.

Canterbury, Norwich, officiality (consistory court) of the bishop.

2. * Norfolk Record Office, Central Library, Norwich NR2 INJ (Tel (0603) 761349) [NoRO]. Except for a brief handlist, there is no printed guide devoted to the ecclesiastical archives of Norwich dioc. Information about the nature of the material, however, can be found incidentally in two works: Norwich Depositions and Houlbrooke, Church Courts. The latter is a monograph based largely on the records for Norwich and Winchester diocs. There is also an index to the probate material, which appears to be quite separate: M.A. Farrow (ed), Index to Wills Proved in the Consistory Court of Norwich ... 1370-1550, BRS 69 (= Norfolk Record Society 16) (London 1945) (list of will registers on pp x-xi). The records at NoRO are well kept, and the archives are run efficiently. The chief drawback for the medievalist working on Norwich dioc is that so few records survive from earlier than the sl6. The archivist informs us that some of the early court and deposition books are currently unfit for production, although most of those so unfit may be consulted on microfilm. Where this is the case, we have indicated "(film)' at the end of the description. (Microfilm copies are available of all of the DN/ACT series listed below, and of all of the DN/DEP series unless the contrary is indicated.) The archive number given below is the number of the box in which the item is stored and should be used for ordering; the book number given in the description is found on the cover of each vol.

1. Act Books : * D N / A C T / 1 . 284 fols. 1508-12. Judicial acte; book 1. This act book contains the business heard by the cons court, including cases of tithes, contentious probate, mortuary and church dues, defamation, and marriage. There are a few sentences, mostly from matrimonial cases. There are a few cases appealed from the court of the adn. Very largely instance cases, with a few ex officio matters. There are no notations of the proof of testaments or the administration of intestate estates. The vol is arranged by consistories, so that the same case was carried forward from one session to another. The court sessions were held every three to four weeks. Unless stated otherwise, the act books listed below follow this same pattern, insofar as I have been able to examine them. D N / A C T / 2 . 330 fols. 1514-16. Judicial acte; book 2 (film). D N / A C T / 3 . 172 fols. 1518-19. Judicial acte; book 3a (film). D N / A C T / 3 . 210 fols. 1520-1. Judicial acte; book 3b (film). D N / A C T / 4 . 300 fols. 1521-5. Judicial acte; book 4a (film). D N / A C T / 4 . 140 fols. 1532-3. Judicial acte; book 4b. Houlbrooke, Church Courts, 283, describes this as a visitation book for 1532, not an act book of instance cases as indicated in the handlist. * D N / A C T / 5 . 289 fols. 1533-8. Judicial acte; book 5 (film). Similar to book 1, but there is a substantial diminution in the amount of business transacted by the court, compared with the early years of the century.

2. * N o R O (see 18/2). The records of the court of the pr&c Norwich are described only in a handlist available NoRO. Although they are not extensive, they are of some interest, as will be seen below. They all date from the sl5 and are classed as DCN/67. They are also available on microfilm. For the probate material in these records and others, see Gibson, Wills, 93. In addition to the records of the pr&c's court itself, there are also various docs in the dn&c collection at the NoRO that were apparently retained by the pr&c of the cath as records of litigation in which they had been involved. Most common are disputes over tithes, annual pensions, and rights in parish churches. They begin in the sl3/2, although one doc (DCN/84/38) comes from 1220. We used a handlist, prepared by dr B. Dodwell, which indicated the existence of about 70 docs relating to litigation in ecclesiastical courts. The archivist informs us that this handlist has since been replaced and new numbers assigned to the docs under the general reference DCN/84 and DCN/85. A few other such docs, not in the Dodwell handlist, were recovered in the course of the new organization and classification. Described below (19/3/2) are those docs that prof Helmholz actually examined in 1984. We were not able to examine the Norwich and Norfolk adnry material at NoRO. Houlbrooke, Church Courts, 283-4, gives a summary list, suggesting that the material begins about 1532, but that it does not become extensive until the 1560s. For the probate records of the adns' courts, see IV/00/20-2. 3.

2. *KAO (see II/01b/2). There is no published guide to the diocesan records. There is a typewritten handlist by D.M.M. Shorrocks, dated Apr, 1957, available at KAO. For the probate material, see L.L. Duncan, Index of Wills Proved in the Rochester Consistory Court Between 1440 and 1561, Kent Archaeological Society, Records Branch 9 (1924). Access to the records is good, and the staff is knowledgeable and helpful. Correspondence with the archivist in 1972 produced a reference to Drb/J/21, described as N deposition book of the cons court, 1541-71', which I was unable to examine while I was at Maidstone. The cons Rochester boasts the earliest known English diocesan court act book, portions of which survive because they were bound into the register of bp Hämo Hethe and bp John Sheppey. It is printed, together with a brief introduction, in C. Johnson (ed), Registrum Hamonis Hethe, C&YS 48-9 (Oxford 1948) 2: 911-1043. The most extensive run of this material is from 7 May 1347 to 14 Oct 1348 (inclusive dates: 9 Apr 1347 — 4 Nov 1348). This material is a separate quire, which was misbound in the middle of the register of John Sheppey, Hethe's successor (id, ρ 911). Scattered throughout Hethe's register is material that Johnson also identified (1: viii-ix, xxiii-iv) as cons court records. It is found on separate fols for the years 1321-43: fols 79-89 (1: 185-256) (dates between 1321 and 1330) and fols 176-83 (2: 593-639) (dates between 1334 and 1337, 1332 and 1333, and 1340 and 1343). As to the first group of material there can be little doubt that the material is not from the cons court but from Hethe's audience court. The second group is more miscellaneous, but the fact that Hethe sometimes sits himself as a judge and that when he is not sitting the judge is always called Hethe's comm and never his off suggests that this too is audience material. The same may also be said of the judicial material scattered throughout the remainder of the register, eg, fol 218r (2: 759), 24 Nov 1346; fol 223v (2: 784-5), 13 May 1346; fol 225v (2: 797), 16 Jan 1347.

There is a record of the cons Rochester, dating between the quire in the bps' register (above 20/2) and this register: Cambridge, st Johns College Archives, D57.170 (acta, Jun 1363 - May 1364). It is printed in S.L. Parker and L.R. Poos, V A Consistory Court from the Diocese of Rochester, 1363-4', EHR 106 (1991) 65265, with a suggestive introduction. Unfortunately, this doc casts little light on the puzzle of how the cons Rochester records were maintained. The doc (photographs of which I have examined through the kindness of prof Poos) is parchment, whereas all the docs that I have seen are paper. It is a long roll of a single m written on both sides, whereas all the other records (including the ones printed by Johnson) are quires. The sloppiness of some of the entries suggests that it may be an example of the type of original record from which the rest of the now-surviving records were copied. BL, Additional MS 11821, is a sl9/in (Parker and Poos would date it to the sl8/m, id, ρ 653 n2) paper-bound ms of 29 fols of extracts from Drb/Pa/1, Drb/Pa/2 and Drb/Pa/3 (see below) entitled N Miscellanea extracta de actis curie consistorii episcopi Roffensis ab anno 1436 ad annum 1444' and (fol 6a) v Extracta e registro curie consistorii Roffen' ab anno 1444 ad annum 1468'. The transcriptions seem to be accurate, but the system of selection is not discernible. A spot check suggests that there is nothing here that is not in the original material at KAO.

IV. Other Diocesan There are 24 post-Tridentine books of mixed dates running to 1858. The sl7 is well represented. Instance, office, and probate books tend to be divided in this period. 2. Registers of Wills: Drb/Pwr/1. 1440-3. Register of wills. The series was begun by the registrar, William Petyr, in 1467. He began with wills from 1440. In the process, he, or someone else, bound the will registers in court acta. These were removed from Pwr/1, Pwr/3, Pwr/4 and Pwr/5 and regrouped at the back of Pwr/1 in 1877 when the vol was rebound: i. Instance cases, cl431, 19 fols. The last 9 fols are visitation records. ii. Instance cases, cl454-5, 18 fols. iii. Instance cases, cl470-2, 13 fols. iv. Instance cases, cl482, 17 fols. Drb/Pwr/2. 1454-9. Register of wills.

Canterbury, court of the exempt archdeaconry of st Albans. In the Middle Ages the parishes of the exempt adnry of the abbey of st Albans lay within Lincoln dioc. The adnry originally comprised 15 parishes: Abbots Langley, Barnet, Codicote, Hexton, Newnham, Norton, Redbourn, Rickmansworth, st Albans (st Peters, st Stephens, and st Michaels in Kingsbury), Waiden, Watford (all in Herts); Aston Abbots and Winslow (in Bucks). By the sl6 the adnry was further defined to include [Chipping] Barnet, East Barnet, Bushey, Elstree, Northaw, Ridge, Sandridge, Sarratt, Shephall, st Andrews in st Albans (Herts), and Grandborough and Little Horwood (Bucks). The abbey was dissolved in 1539. In 1540 (by a general act of 31 Henry VIII, c.13), visitation was given to the ordinary where the exempt jurisdiction lay. On 1 April 1550 the adnry of st Albans was transferred to London dioc by letters patent. For further information on the exemption and on the contents of the records described below, see J. Sayers, "Papal Privileges for St Albans Abbey and its Dependencies', in Essays ... Major, 57-84, and J. Sayers, "Monastic Archdeacons', in C.N.L.

When the holdings are added up, however, they are substantial, although they are scattered among a number of courts. The details are all derived from Stewart, Guide to Salisbury Records.

IV. Other Diocesan kindly provided. The organization of the records, however, remains as given by ms Stewart. In addition to the material listed below the WRO holds a collection of cons court wills from 1526 and of wills from the dn's peculiar from 1500. See G.S. Fry (ed), Calendars of Wills and Administrations Relating to the County of Dorset, BRS 53 (London 1922) WRO also holds wills from 1540 from the court of the adn Salisbury and from 1557 from the court of the adn Wiltshire. See Gibson, Wills, 140-3 (includes various peculiars; the peculiar of the ν of Corsham has wills from 1462).

Dl/2/2. 1315-30. Register of bp Martival. Printed (insofar as relevant here): D.M. Owen (ed), The Registers of Roger Martival, Bishop of Salisbury, 1315-1330, 4, C&YS 68 (Torquay 1975) (register of the bp's audience court and of inhibitions received from the c/C). See D.M. Owen, "An Episcopal Audience Court', in J.H. Baker (ed), Legal Records and the Historian (London 1978) 140-9. In addition, bp Waltham's register (1388-95, Dl/2/5) contains a section (fols 222r-233v) dealing with court proceedings (Jul 1389 — Jan 1395) and another (fols 200r-208v) that includes wills probated by the vg. Bp Hallum's register (1407-17, Dl/2/7) contains a section of wills (fols 18r-22v) and another (fols 189r-192r) of judicial acta (May 1408 — Sep 1412), probably audience. Bp Aiscough's register (1438-50, Dl/2/10) contains a section (fols 52v-54v (2d ser)) devoted to abjurations of heretics and another (fols 78r-87v (2d ser)) devoted to visitations. See Smith, Guide to Bps' Registers, 191-4.

The episcopal muniments also contain five cartularies dating from our period (Dl/1/1-5). See Stewart, Guide to Salisbury Records, 1-2. One of them has been printed (Dl/1/1): W.H. Rich Jones (ed), Vetus registrum Sarisberiense alias dictum registrum S. Osmundi episcopi, 2 vols, Rolls Series [78] (1883-4) and contains at 1: 275-314, a visitation of the prebendal churches by the dn Salisbury in 1220. Extracts were made from the others (along with a cartulary of the dn&c called "Liber Evidentiarum C ) in W.[H.] Rich Jones and W.D. Macray (eds), Charters and Documents Illustrating the History of the Cathedral, City, and Diocese of Salisbury, Rolls Series [97] (London 1891). Some of the material in this vol clearly derives from litigation docs, but there are no litigation docs as such in the printed material (but cf the visitation material on pp 368-70).

Dl/39/1/1. 2 + 212 fols. Sep 1554 - Jun 1558. Judicial acta in the bp's consistory court. A composite book with mixed instance and office cases, many of the latter arising from the legatine visitation of May 1556.

There are many office cases in this book and very few cases of any kind for 1559. Dl/42/1. 55 fols. 1546 X 1551. Depositions i n the bp's consistory court. The deposition books are not in strictly chronological order and many of them are in bad condition. Hence the dates given are only approximate. Dl/42/2. 47 fols. 1549/50X1554. Deposition book similar to Dl/42/1. Dl/42/3. 36 fols. 1554 X 1555. Deposition book (fragmentary) similar to Dl/42/1. Dl/42/4. 16 fols. 1554. Deposition book similar to Dl/42/1. Both the act book and the deposition book series continue into the sl9 (Dl/39/1/3 etc, Dl/42/5 etc). There is a large group of cause papers for this jurisdiction (Dl/41), but most, if not all of them, seem to postdate our period. There are also four books of comperta et detecta at visitations dating from the sl6/m (Dl/43/1-4). See Stewart, Guide to Salisbury Records, 31-3, 37-8. D4/3/1. 103 fols. Jan 1476/7 - N o v 1478, Jan 1549/50 - Dec 1558. Judicial acta i n the court of the subdn of Salisbury. The subdn of Salisbury exercised archidiaconal jurisdiction in the three parishes of the city of Salisbury and in one in the suburbs. The sl6 quires in this vol are bound into its middle. All the jurisdiction consists of office matters and probates. D5/1/1. 149 + 66 fols. 1405 X 1417. Visitation register (1405-12, first foliation), general register (second foliation to fol 48v) of d n John Chaundler. The jurisdiction of the dn Salisbury was extensive.

Timmins (ed), The Register of John Chandler, Dean of Salisbury, 1404-17, Wiltshire Record Society 39 (Devizes 1984) and is remarkable for the amount of judicial material it contains. SCL, MS 189, fols 60-117 contains visitation material temp dn Davyson (1473-85). For other jurisdictional material in MS 189, see First Report of the Royal Commission on Historical Manuscripts (London 1874), Appendix, pp 90-1. D5/19/1. 56 fols.

See Stewart, Guide to Salisbury Records, 75-6. This particular book, the only one of a long series that falls within our period has material from 1531-2, 1536-9 (with a stray from 1632/3), and then runs consecutively from Jan 1540/1 to Jul 1564.

Formularies.

Of the large collection of Salisbury formularies associated with the dn's records, the first five have dates that fall within our period. The following descriptions are drawn from Stewart, Guide to Salisbury Records, 84-5: D5/24/1. A small quarto vol, containing two sections: The first probably relates to courts of the bp London; it mentions bp Richard, who was probably Richard Fitzjames, bp London, 1506-22, and also Henry VIII. The forms are mostly for

IV. Other Diocesan administrative business. The second section is much more roughly written and is probably a bit later. Much of it consists of notes about the law (in Latin) but there are extracts and copies of docs as well. D5/24/2. Part of a book (the fols are numbered 1534-1558) containing articles and answers in various cases in the adnry of Sudbury. Various dates in the sl6 seen: 155617, 1562, 1584, etc. D5/24/3. The fols in this vol are numbered (irregularly) 926-1236, but they appear to be loose papers—court papers of all kinds—bound together. Many are from the courts of the abp Canterbury. Dates seen are about 1560-70. D5/24/4. Mostly courts of the abp Canterbury, but other diocs as well. The forms, mostly articles, are loose papers bound together. 1556 the only date seen. D5/24/5. This consists of two books (or parts of books) bound together. The courts are mainly those of the abp Canterbury and of Salisbury dioc. Dates noticed are 1561 and 1571, but Cardinal Pole is mentioned (he carried out a legatine visitation in 1556). The second part appears to be a ms copy of the Dublin 1666 printing of Francis Clarke's Praxis in curiis ecclesiasticis.

SCM, Chapter Act Book. 1329-49. What are probably extracts from the roll of the off of the dn&c Salisbury's peculiar (the office of dn being vacant) from the year 1347 found their way into the register of the chapter clerk (now classified as the first of the chapter act books among the muniments of the dn&c).

Canterbury, Bath and Wells, officiality (consistory court) of the bishop and courts of the archdeacons of Bath, Wells and Taunton and of various peculiars. The vague description of the courts is caused by the fact that the material listed below was found undifferentiated by jurisdiction in the diocesan registry, and some of it is in sufficiently poor condition that careful differentiation of the jurisdictions has not been possible. Nonetheless, it would seem that during the sl6/l, the cons court, like that at Hereford (see above 09/1) consisted of both an off and a peripatetic cg, but that unlike Hereford, there was also active archidiaconal jurisdiction. Material listed below is from the cons court unless otherwise stated.

Shorrocks, kindly provided me by the present archivist and on which the following is based. The records are extensive but suffered badly from damp in their former repository, and some are not fit for production. At present the collection is being microfilmed.

The probate records of the court of the adn Taunton are calendared in E.A. Fry (ed), Calendar of Wills and Administrations in the Court of the Archdeacon of Taunton, BRS 45 (London 1912). The records on which this calendar was based were deposited at Exeter and destroyed by bombing in 1942. A similar fate was suffered by most of the probate records of the cons court listed in S.W. Rawlins and I.F. Jones (ed), Somerset Wills from Exeter, Somerset Record Society 62 (London 1952). For references to printed and ms abstracts and indexes of probate material (some of which still survives) from these courts and from the courts of the adn Wells, the dn of Wells, the dn&c of Wells, and various other Wells peculiars, see Gibson, Wills, 113-15.

IV. Other Diocesan Clearly it was a mistake not to have visited the SRO. Despite the loss of the probate material, the holdings from the s l 6 (but pre-Reformation) merit further attention. The act books, i n particular, are decidedly composite i n nature, and there seems a strong possibility that a considerable amount could be learned from t h e m about the operation of the cons and eg court.

Hampshire Record Office, Sussex Street, Winchester S023 8 T H (Tel (0962)846154) [HaRO]. There is a printed guide to the records in question: S. Lewin, Records of the Diocese of Winchester in the Hampshire Record Office (Winchester 1991), which contains references to the more detailed handlists available at HaRO. The following is based on photocopies of those lists kindly provided by Miss Lewin. The Winchester diocesan material has an overall reference of 21M65. Hence, all class numbers, including the bishops' registers, given here should be preceded by that number, eg, 21M65/B1/1. In addition to what is listed below, bp Stratford's register (Al/5; 1323-33) contains (fols 160r-168r) a quire of judicial acta (Feb 1324 — Jul 1328), probably from his audience court, and another (fols 170r-180r) of visitation business (Jan 1324 — Apr 1328). Bp Fox's various registers (Al/17-21; 1501-28) contain a considerable amount of legal business, including proceedings against heretics. See Smith, Guide to Bps' Registers, 205, 210. There is also visitation material in the printed registers of bp John of Pontoise and bp Woodlock: C. Deedes (ed), Registrum Johannis de Pontissara, Episcopi Wintoniensis, A.D. MCCLXXXII-MCCCIV, C&YS 19, 30 (Oxford 1915, 1924); A.W. Goodman (ed), Registrum Henrici Woodlock, Diocesis Wintoniensis, A.D. 1305-1316, C&YS 43-4 (Oxford 1940-1). For the probate material (wills from 1502, classes Dl-8), see A.J. Willis, Wills, Administrations and Inventories with the Winchester Diocesan Records (Hambleden 1968).

2. * Worcester (St Helen's) Record Office, Fish Street, Worcester W R 1 2 H N (Tel (0905)763763, ext 5922). No printed work describes the early records of Worcester dioc. However, R.M. Haines, The Administration of the Diocese of Worcester in the First Half of the Fourteenth Century (1965) is useful for general patterns. The surviving Worcester material is in fact quite sparse, but it is well kept and readily available. For the probate material, see E.A. Fry (ed), Calendar of Wills and Administrations in the Consistory Court of the Bishop of Worcester, 1451-1600, BRS 31 (London 1904). Probate records from one peculiar (Evesham) fall within our period (1528-37). See Gibson, Wills, 147. In addition to what is listed below, J.W. Willis Bund (ed), The Register of William de Geynesburgh, Bishop of Worcester, 1302-1307, Worcestershire Historical Society 22 (1907-9), contains an number of entries related to legal business. Bp Montacute's register (716.093 BA 2648/2 (iii); 1334-7) contains (fols 191-4) a section on inhibitions from the c/C and certifications thereof and a section (fols 221-30) concerning visitations. Bp Hempnall's register (716.093 BA 2648/2 (iv) fols 3-4; 1337-8) contains a copy of a decree rendered by pjd temp bp Maidstone (1313-17). R.M.

Index of YBI Documents Listed below are the YBI archive numbers in the CP series in numerical order followed by the date under which the report of their contents may be found. (All sl4 dates will be found in III/01/3/1, sl5 dates in III/01/3/2, etc.) Where more than one file number has been combined in a given entry, the index gives the first number as well as the date. I have also included references to past numbers in order to assist the researcher who has an old reference and who cannot find it under the new number. Rationalization of the CP series is an ongoing process, and it has not been possible to indicate precisely when each change took place.

Index of Archives, Libraries, and Manuscripts This index combines an index to archives and libraries, such as that found in Part I, with a more traditional index of mss. Where an archive or library is the subject of a report, even a brief report like those found in III/OO and IV/00, the reference is to the report, given by chapter and section number. Casual references follow, indicated by page numbers. All mss, of the traditional sort normally found in mss libraries (including bps' registers, formularies, etc), are listed individually, whether or not they are cited in a report on the archive or library in which they are found. Archival material is listed individually only when it is found some place other than in the report or reports devoted to the archive. This way the reader may gather all the casual references to archival material that are scattered throughout the book without having to labor through a whole series of archive classes that are simply repeated in the report on the archive.

Index of Persons and Places (including authors of books and articles cited) In addition to standard county abbreviations and the abbreviations used throughout the book, the following abbreviations are used in this index: card = cardinal, den = deacon, dép = département, OSA = Augustinians, OSB = Benedictines, OSBClun = Cluniacs, OSG = Gilbertines, OP = Dominicans, OPraem = Premonstratensians. We have attempted to distinguish between diocesan and provincial institutions. This has led, somewhat arbitrarily, to listing the abps under the prov rather than the dioc. Except where ambiguity in the dating of a doc leads to ambiguity in the identification, we have attempted to identify all abps and bps mentioned, even when their names are not given in the report. This means that the reader searching, for example, for every reference to the registers of the bps of Lincoln dioc, should look at the names of the bps of Lincoln cross-referenced under the entry for N Lincoln dioc, bp of'. The first entry for courts gives the location by reference number of the report(s) on that court and the inclusive pages of the report, followed by specific references to the court in places other than the report, and, in the case of courts that are not the principal subject of the report, references to the court within the report. Court officers are normally listed under their geographical jurisdiction, not under the person whom they served. Hence the dn Arches (eg of the off of the abp for Canterbury prov) will be found directly under v Cant prov' not as a subsubentry under the abp. In order to avoid multiplication of references to the same case, references to sentences of a particular court officer have been suppressed when an appeal was taken from that sentence, but both officer from whom and to whom the appeal was taken are noted. References to sentences, then, can be taken as references to sentences that appear to have been final ones. Each page cited indicates that the referenced item is found there once unless the reference is followed by bis, ter, or passim. Hyphenated groups of pages followed by passim means that the reference occurs at least four times on the cited pages and at least once on each cited page.
