The essays in this volume examine how late medieval and Renaissance prelates deployed the income and influence of their offices, how they understood their role, and how they were viewed by others. Focusing primarily on but not exclusively confined to England, this collection explores the considerable common ground between cardinals, bishops and monastic superiors.Leading authorities on the late medieval and sixteenth-century Church analyse the political, cultural and pastoral activities of high-ranking churchmen, and consider how episcopal and abbatial expenditure was directed, justifiedand perceived. Overall, the collection enhances our understanding of ecclesiastical wealth and power in an era when the concept and role of the prelate were increasingly contested.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  Dr Martin Heale is Senior Lecturer inLate Medieval History, University of Liverpool.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e   Contributors: Martin Heale, Michael Carter, James G.
