It gives a full and detailed picture of church life during the   middle years of Henry VI's reign, and so presents a valuable corrective to   the period as one dominated by political strife. Richard Praty was an   Oxford-trained theologian, an expert on the treatment of heretics, and a   conscientious resident diocesan who worked hard to uphold standards, to   ordain clergy, and yet to fulfil his obligations to the crown. It is among   the richest and fullest of any bishop's register of the fifteenth century,   and paints a true picture, warts and all, of the late-medieval English   church.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e[...] this is an excellent new addition to the calendars of medieval English episcopal registers  published by the Canterbury and York Society. It very well researched and presented and is heartily  recommended to all those with an interest in the pre-Reformation English church. * THE LOCAL HISTORIAN *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction The Register: WSRO, Ep.
