This volume contains the acta of three bishops of London: Richard of Ely, William de Ste. Mére-Église, and Eustace of Fauconberg. Both Richard and Eustace saw service as royal treasurer; indeed Richard wrote the handbook on Exchequer practice, the Dialogus de Scaccario. William on the other hand spearheaded the papal campaign against King John during the General Interdict.
'This is an admirably scholarly work, and a good read too. Its illustrations and plans are well chosen . . . John Jones gives us a great deal of new and detailed information about many aspects of the College's life, and some balanced revisions of traditional judgements. It will remain the standard work for a long time.' Christopher Hill
