I have not yet checked to see if this cause is cited or edited by Helmholz but I’ll place it here now and correct later. There are almost no late-medieval cause papers for the (Coventry and) Lichfield Consistory court (which was convened always in the secular chapter at Lichfield, never, of course, the regular at Coventry). The registers, however, occasionally and erratically include memoranda about causes.
