My friend Clive Burgess, who has died aged 71, was an authority on late medieval religious practices and beliefs in England.
Over the years he had a number of lecturing and research posts in a range of organisations, mainly at Royal Holloway, University of London, where in 2005 he was appointed as a permanent lecturer in medieval history. He remained there until his retirement as a reader in 2019, and was subsequently made professor emeritus.
