Synopsis

This book delves into the medieval history of the Palatinate of Durham, a unique and powerful franchise in the north of England, akin to a county palatine, that was ruled by the prince-bishops of Durham. Drawing on a wealth of documents, the author brings to light the myriad jura regalia enjoyed by the bishops of Durham between the rivers Tyne and Tees from before the Norman invasion to the reign of Henry VIII. The volume contains records of lawsuits, the taxation of ecclesiastical benefices within the diocese of Durham, ordinations, and a portion of the register of Richard de Bury, bishop of Durham. It also explores the relationships between the bishops and the local magnates and monasteries, as well as the administration of justice and the exercise of royal rights within the Palatinate. This meticulously researched and deeply informative book sheds new light on the complex and fascinating history of medieval Durham and its unique place within the broader context of English history.
