The Register of Gilbert Welton, Bishop of Carlisle 1353-1362
Author:  R.L. Storey
Published:  1999
Medium: Book         Publisher:  Boydell & Brewer Ltd

Gilbert Welton was an eminent ecclesiastical administrator who won papal favour when visiting the Curia at Avignon. He recruited qualified staff before settling in the impoverished, war-torn diocese of Carlisle, which had not been accustomed 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. This volume offers a calendar of the whole manuscript, with an appendix of full Latin texts of entries of special interest.   hardback   ISBN 978-0-907-23959-8

The Register of John Kirkby, Bishop of Carlisle I 1332-1352 and the Register of John Ross, Bishop of Carlisle, 1325-32
Author:  R.L. Storey
Published:  1993
Medium: Book         Publisher:  Boydell & Brewer Ltd

This volume contains a calendar of the register, together with an introduction. John Kirkby's episcopate was an eventful one. It coincided with a period of Anglo-Scottish warfare in which the bishop participated with gusto, but even domestically his tenure of the see of Carlisle was stormy, for the bishop was involved in feuding among the local gentry, and quarrelled with his archdeacon and with the dean and chapter of York during the vacancy of 1340-42. This volume contains a wide range of adminstrative material, for example, ordination lists and exchanges of benefices (with the reasons fully given), yet provides a lively record of life in a remote part of the country. A second volume will include a rental of of episcopal manors,an appendix of transcipts of documents, and the index.

John Kirkby's episcopate was an eventful one. It coincided with a period of Anglo-Scottish warfare in which the bishop participated with gusto, but even domestically his tenure of the see of Carlisle was stormy: the bishop was involved in feuding among the local gentry, and quarrelled with his archdeacon and with the dean and chapter of York during the vacancy of 1340-42. This second volume of Kirkby's register includes a rental of episcopal manors, an appendix of transcripts of documents, and the index, adding to the calendar contained in the first volume and providing a lively record of life in a remote part of the country.

The Register of Thomas Appleby, Bishop of Carlisle 1363-1395
Author:  R.L. Storey
Published:  2006
Medium: Book         Publisher:  Boydell & Brewer Ltd

Thomas Appleby was an Augustinian canon of Carlisle cathedral before his elevation to the bishopric. Pope Urban V, who had reserved the see, initially squashed Appleby's election but appointed him as bishop by papal provision. Consecrated at Avignon on 18 June 1363, his episcopate turned out to be the longest of any bishop of Carlisle, and he ruled the border diocese for well over thirty years before his death in 1395. His register gives ample evidence ofhis careful administration of the diocese and also reveals his political involvement as a warden of the west march, frequently involved in negotiations with the Scots. The publication of this volume completes the set of the surviving medieval episcopal registers of Carlisle undertaken by Professor Robin Storey.   hardback   ISBN 978-0-907-23966-6
