He recruited qualified staff before settling in the impoverished, war-torn diocese of Carlisle, which had not beenaccustomed to a resident bishop or to a high standard of episcopal government. His professionalism is reflected in the professional quality of his register. Among its contents are a dozen records of matrimonial causes (one Carlisle woman was divorced twice in six weeks); of further social interest are the 59 wills of laymen and beneficed clergy, many of them victims of the second visitation of the Black Death in 1362.\n    This volume offers a calendarof the whole manuscript, with an appendix of full Latin texts of entries of special interest.","brand":"Boydell \u0026 Brewer Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54217539256664,"sku":"9780907239598","price":31.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780907239598.jpg?v=1768278608","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/register-of-gilbert-welton-bishop-of-carlisle-1353-1362","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
