Abstract

The article focuses on the analysis of Latin verses from Piers Plowman found in Lambeth Palace MS 61, particularly their presence in a sermon by Henry Harclay on Thomas Becket. Topics include the manuscript's composite nature, potential provenance from a volume donated to the hospital of St Thomas of Acre by James Butler, Earl of Ormond, and the thematic relevance of these verses to medieval notions of royal power and divine justice.
