After a brief introduction, this article provides descriptions of the eight extant Latin manuscripts which are known to have been in the possession of Adam Easton, as well as one manuscript where his ownership is questionable.

Adam Easton, a monk of Norwich cathedral priory and a doctor of theology of Oxford University, accompanied Simon Langham to the papal Curia in 1369 after Langham had been elevated to the cardinalate. Easton remained at the Curia and in 1378 witnessed the turbulent election of Urban VI in Rome, which led to the Great Schism of the western Church. In 1379 Easton’s testimony concerning the circumstances of this election was solicited twice. Following his promotion to the cardinalate by Urban in 1381, Easton became involved in a conspiracy involving five other cardinals against the pope. He was the only cardinal to survive and to be reinstated. These two episodes form the main subjects of the chapter. An appendix prints Easton’s first testimony along with marginal comments deriving from adherents of Urban’s rival as pope, Clement VII of Avignon, that seek to undermine it. The text illustrates the nature of contemporary debate concerning the validity of the election of Urban VI and the legitimacy of the respective claimants to the papacy.
亚当·伊斯顿是诺维奇大教堂修道院的修士,也是牛津大学的神学博士。1369年,朗廷升任红衣主教后,亚当·伊斯顿陪同西蒙·朗廷前往罗马教廷。伊斯顿留在教廷,并于1378年见证了乌尔班六世在罗马的动荡选举,这导致了西方教会的大分裂。1379年,伊斯顿就这次选举的情况作了两次证词。伊斯顿在1381年被乌尔班提拔为红衣主教后,与其他五位红衣主教一起参与了反对教皇的阴谋。他是唯一幸存下来并被复职的红衣主教。这两个情节构成了本章的主要主题。一份附录印刷了伊斯顿的第一次证词,以及来自厄本教皇竞争对手、阿维尼翁的克莱门特七世(Clement VII of Avignon)的追随者的边缘评论,这些评论试图破坏伊斯顿的证词。文本说明了当代辩论的性质关于选举的有效性城市六世和合法性的各自索赔教皇。
