| Abstract | This session looks at defence and expansion of powers of the 14th-century Church. Lane looks at under-examined elements of the career of Richard de Bury, bishop of Durham, especially his defence of the bishopric's liberties, as well as its role in northern defence. Foley focuses on the 1392 attack on St Thomas's Abbey, Dublin, and whether it was really instigated by the local population, or internal politics of the house also had a role. McHardy looks at monks given a wider remit that their set role of representing their abbots in parliament, especially their financial, diplomatic and managerial activities. |
