Excerpt from The English Historical Review, 1960, Vol. 75 After Archbishop Hubert's death we should hardly expect to find much statute-making by English bishops for some years to come. Several bishoprics lay vacant for long periods, the interdict descended on the country in 1208, and few bishops remained at their posts after the king was excommunicated in 1209. It would be rash to suppose that diocesan government went entirely to pieces during the interdict or that absent bishops were completely cut off from their ¿ocks: officials could deputize for them, their mandates could be read in ruri-decanal chapters.4 The fact remains that there is a gap in the evidence of statute-making until King John made peace with the Church in May 1213. He chose a critical moment to do so. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
