Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book offers a window into the last ten years of the Priory of S. Helen, Bishopsgate, a religious community founded in the 13th century. The author meticulously pieces together the events leading up to the Dissolution of the Monasteries, drawing on the convent's own records and other archival sources. The book explores the complex relationships between the nuns, their prioress, and the powerful figures of the Tudor court, including Thomas Cromwell. It also examines the economic and legal strategies employed by the nuns to preserve their community and possessions in a changing religious and political landscape. Through its vivid account of the priory's final years, this book illuminates both the resilience and vulnerability of religious institutions during a tumultuous period in English history.
