"This book investigates how bishops deployed reward and punishment to control their
administrative subordinates in thirteenth-century England. Bishops had few effective
avenues available to them for disciplining their clerks and rarely pursued them, preferring
to secure their service and loyalty through rewards. The chief reward was the benefice,
often granted for life. Episcopal administrators' security of tenure in these benefices,
however, made them free agents, allowing them to transfer from diocese to diocese
or even leave administration altogether; they did not constitute a standing episcopal
civil service. This tenuous bureaucratic relationship made the personal relationship
between bishop and clerk more important. Ultimately, many bishops communicated in
terms of friendship with their administrators, who responded with expressions of devotion.
Michael Burger's study brings together ecclesiastical, social, legal and cultural
history, producing the first synoptic study of thirteenth-century English diocesan
administration in decades. His research provides an ecclesiastical counterpoint to
numerous studies of bastard feudalism in secular contexts"--
