A thorough examination of the acta of the bishops of Bangor in north Wales opens a revealing window into the medieval Welsh Church, and sheds light on the bishops' dealings with popes, archbishops, and religious houses, as well as with the kings of England and princes of Wales.

The volume concludes with the bishops' itineraries....
