Medieval Section lecture and AGM this Saturday:
Gary Brannan is talking about the the York Archbishops’ Registers. He writes:
The registers contain a wealth of information relating to both clerical and lay matters, and are one of the largest, yet least-exploited sources for the study of medieval England and, specifically, medieval Yorkshire. The registers document the church’s role in society, its relationship with the state and crucially, with itself. From wayward priests to royal infidelity and expressions of personal piety to papal indulgence, the registers are a crucial source for local medieval research and are now available free online.
At Swarthmore, Saturday, 13 May, 2 pm, and followed by the section AGM. There’s an opening for a new member to join the committee – please let Bryan know if you’re interested.
