Reviews

An excellent addition to the number of individual studies of twelfth-century prelates.
*ENGLISH HISTORICAL REVIEW*

[A] very welcome study.scholarly and engaging. [...] Of interest not only as a corrective to previous assessments of William of York, but for the rich picture of the northern diocese in this formative period.
*THE CATHOLIC HISTORICAL REVIEW*

Sheds remarkable light on the Church of the 12th and 13th centuries. A magisterial study...lucid and comprehensive.
*CHURCH TIMES*

[The author] has explored or re-interpreted a remarkable range of sources...and transforms our understanding of [William's] early career. A rich study.
