Page i Studies in the History of Medieval Religion VOLUME VIII A Brotherhood of Canons Serving God English Secular Cathedrals in the Later Middle Ages This study focuses on the canons of the nine secular cathedrals in England in the later middle ages, men who were amongst the most able and successful clerics of their age. After considering the functions of the cathedrals which provided them with a comfortable income and considerable status, Dr Lepine turns to the canons themselves, tracing their geographical, social and educational origins and analysing their careers in the service of Church and state: this was the surest route to a canonry, an honour for which clerics were prepared to go to considerable lengths. Of central importance to this survey is an examination of canons' residence at their cathedrals, establishing how many were resident in the close and how much time they spent there. The residentiary canons are the main subject of the second part of the book. The author explores their grand and liberal lifestyle, modelled on that of the nobility, and uses archaeological evidence to reconstruct the houses from which they dispensed hospitality; their religious, intellectual and artistic interests and activities are also described. The study concludes by presenting two case studies to show the vigour and diversity of capitular life in the later middle ages: Salisbury between 1398 and 1458 (its so-called golden age) and Lichfield from 1490 to 1540, on the eve of the Reformation. Dr David Lepine teaches history at Dartford Grammar School.
