To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In the absence of aJtemative interests or modes of investment the acquisition of land was a concern not less important than the pursuit of the stag, the heron, or the fox. To neither passion was the Church a stranger, and the judicial records of the reign, so far as they have been discovered and printed, show that the spirit of the land- grabber and the litigant was by no means confined to the squire- ardty. The land-hunger of the baron was matched by the land- hunger of the prelates ; tithe cl...aims were met by tithe denials ; riotous attack by riotous defence. Especially numerous were tiie suits between the great abbeys and their urban neighbours. While our evidence is too fragmentary to permit a full or adequate survey of the condition of the monasteries, it cer- tainly conveys the impression that many houses had fallen into a state of degradation. At the request of the king, Pope Innocent VIII. issued a bull in 1490, enjoining a visitation of aii the religious houses in^ England, and giving to the visitors powers of suspension, deprivation, and expulsion.
