Oliver Sutton, Bishop of Lincoln, and the University of Oxford
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 13 July 2011
Extract
I have chosen as the subject of this paper a study of the relations of Oliver Sutton, bishop of Lincoln from 1280 to 1299, with the University of Oxford, and I should like to begin with a quotation from the work of one of the great medievalists of our generation. In his book, Henry III and the Lord Edward, Sir Maurice Powicke says: ‘It is a great pity that we know so little about these people.’ That is profoundly true. Many of the inhabitants of thirteenth-century history are little more than names to us. We know a few facts about the chancellors of Oxford at this period, and the information that we can gain about Sutton is slight enough. Yet I think that sufficient material has survived to enable us to find out something about his dealings with the university and to understand from them what kind of a man he was.
