Salisbury, 1078-1217

This latest EEA volume publishes the acta of the bishops of Salisbury 1078-1217, during which period the see was located at Old Sarum. This distinguished sequence of five bishops includes Roger, Henry I's chief minister, and Hubert Walter, afterwards archbishop of Canterbury and justiciar. The acta contain a wealth of fascinating detail not only about the churches, monasteries, and clergy of the diocese (covering Berkshire, Dorset, and Wiltshire), but also about a great variety of legal, administrative, social, economic, and cultural matters of the period. This edition will be complemented by Volume 19, which will extend the coverage to 1228, and will include a consolidated index to both volumes.
