Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This text offers a detailed biographical sketch of John de Grandisson, the seventeenth Bishop of Exeter. The narrative begins by placing Grandisson's episcopate within the historical context of the conflict between King and Pope over the authority to appoint bishops and traces his early career from his studies at the University of Paris to his appointment by papal provision as Archdeacon of Nottingham in 1310. Grandisson emerges as a loyal and effective servant of the Papacy, a trusted diplomat, and an energetic administrator. The book reveals the challenges facing Grandisson when, at the age of 36, he became Bishop of Exeter. He inherited a diocese beset by financial irregularities, dilapidation of episcopal estates, and an ongoing dispute with the Dean and Chapter over the Chapter's right to elect the bishop. Drawing on copious evidence from Grandisson's register, the author skilfully recreates the bishop's determined efforts to restore order to his diocese. This book provides not only a rich account of Grandisson's career but also a valuable insight into the wider ecclesiastical and political landscape of 14th-century England.
