Description

Of Prelates and Princes examines the economic and social position of Tudor bishops, exploring their dual roles as spiritual leaders and temporal lords who wielded significant influence over vast estates. This scholarly work by Cambridge University Press investigates the wealth accumulated by English bishops during the Tudor period and reveals how they deployed their revenues across religious and secular domains. Drawing on extensive research from scholars studying individual dioceses and prelates, the book uncovers the financial realities of episcopal power whilst demonstrating how the crown maintained control over bishops' economic destinies, particularly following the English break with Rome. Essential reading for historians and theologians interested in Tudor religious history, ecclesiastical governance, and the intersection of religious authority with temporal power during one of England's most transformative periods.
