English Episcopal Acta 32 - Norwich 1244-1266

Zusatztext This volume carries on the great work accomplished by Christopher Harper- Bill in editing the episcopal Acta of the diocese of Norwich during the middle ages. Klappentext This volume collects together the 198 acta issued by Bishops Walter Suffield and Simon Walton of Norwich. The development of the diocese of Norwich is outlined in English Episcopal Acta 6, Norwich 1070-1214. Although the rapid multiplication of houses of monks, canons and nuns which had characterised the century and a half after the Norman Conquest had slackened in pace, the period covered by this volume saw the foundation of two nunneries, Marham and Flixton, and the establishment by Bishop Suffield himself of a major new hospital, St Giles in Norwich.
