  • Churches Visited and Revisited (17/12/16 to Date) – Book 35
    CHURCHES VISITED AND REVISITED (17/12/16 TO DATE) – BOOK 35 1 VARIOUS VISITED IN THE PAST NOW INCLUDED SATURDAY 17th MAY 2016 2 Canterbury Cathedral in Canterbury, Kent, is one of the oldest and most famous Christian structures in England. It forms part of a World Heritage Site. It is the cathedral of the Archbishop of Canterbury, currently Justin Welby, leader of the Church of England and symbolic leader of the worldwide Anglican Communion. Its formal title is the Cathedral and Metropolitical Church of Christ at Canterbury. Founded in 597, the cathedral was completely rebuilt between 1070 and 1077. 3 The east end was greatly enlarged at the beginning of the 12th century, and largely rebuilt in the Gothic style following a fire in 1174, with significant eastward extensions to accommodate the flow of pilgrims visiting the shrine of Thomas Becket, the archbishop who was murdered in the cathedral in 1170. The Norman nave and transepts survived until the late 14th century, when they were demolished to make way for the present structures. Before the English Reformation the cathedral was part of a Benedictine monastic community known as Christ Church, Canterbury, as well as being the seat of the archbishop. 4 5 Christianity had started to become powerful in the Roman Empire around the 3rd century. Following the conversion of Augustine of Hippo in the 4th century, the influence of Christianity grew steadily. The cathedral's first bishop was Augustine of Canterbury, previously abbot of St Andrew's Benedictine Abbey in Rome; when other dioceses were founded in England he was made archbishop.

It focuses on bishops and abbots, whose military activities were recorded more frequently than lesser clergy, though these too are considered where appropriate. From the era of Christian conversion until long after the close of the middle ages, clergy were involved in the prosecution of warfare.

  • The Pennsylvania State University Schreyer Honors College
    THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY SCHREYER HONORS COLLEGE DEPARTMENT OF ENGLISH THE INTERPOLATED VOICE: LANGUAGE, STATUS, AND IDENTITY IN THE ANGLO- SAXON CHRONICLE SHANNON FRANCIS SPRING 2016 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for a baccalaureate degree in English with honors in English Reviewed and approved* by the following: Scott T. Smith Associate Professor Thesis Supervisor Lisa Sternlieb Associate Professor of English Honors Adviser * Signatures are on file in the Schreyer Honors College. i ABSTRACT This thesis explores the usage of English in the Peterborough Chronicle in relation to status, history, and the larger Anglo-Saxon identity in post-Conquest England. The interpolation of the annal for the year 675 functions alongside Latin documentation created around the same time in the twelfth century in order to create documentation attesting to status and property formerly justified through oral traditions. Furthermore, entries in the Peterborough Chronicle place an importance on local history that is seen nowhere else in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, as evidenced by the 675 annal as well as annals concerning the Norman Conquest. Peterborough’s 1066 annal emphasizes local history, and the events that befall Peterborough immediately post- Conquest mirror those that befall England as a whole, entwining local history within the larger national narrative and elevating the status of Peterborough to equal that of England. While annals in the Peterborough Chronicle concerning William, his legacy as king and his creation of the Domesday Book focus on the larger English narrative with no direct mention of Peterborough’s local history, the homiletic and personal nature of the 1086 annal and the poem “The Rime of William,” a well as the established connection between Peterborough and the larger English narrative, the suffering of England as a whole is equated to suffering on a local and personal level.

  • Abbots of Battle 1070-1538
    Abbots of Battle 1070-1538 llluminated page from the frontispiece of Lower’s Chronicle of Battel Abbey Introduction: There were 29 to 31 abbots of the ‘Abbaye de Bello’, depending on whether or not we count the very first, named Robert Blancard, who may not have been consecrated abbot, and on whether there was an election or not covering the period 1529-31 before the abbacy of the final abbot, John Hammond. Clearly not all the abbots have memorable stories and many must have led relatively quiet lives leading the monks in their ecclesiastical duties and rubber stamping various rentals and land deals – not that they were not busy supervising the life of the abbey and leading the management of the wide-ranging abbey estates and even acting as the local lord in legal matters. We have reasonably good information about events in the lives of the first eleven abbots, and these all have an entry in the text. After that those that have some recorded event or events of significance are selected. The complete list of the abbots and their dates of election or appointment, the reason why each ceased being abbot and some brief introductory notes to each are given below. Many but not all died in post. 1. Robert Blancard, ?designated 1070–1, appointed 1076, drowned same year. There is a mention in Regesta Regnum Anglo-Normannorum Vol.1 (No.60) about an abbot in 1070–1. Robert Blancard, one of the first monks, may have been designated by William I in 1070, not 1076, but maybe it was not possible to be formally appointed until the first part of the abbey church was consecrated in 1076? 2.

    1919 303 Downloaded from Notes and Documents An Outline Itinerary of King Henry the First* http://ehr.oxfordjournals.org/ AN itinerary of Henry I will never be more than an imper- fect outline of the movements of his court, for the reason that the materials at our disposal are limited to intermittent references in the chronicles to ^the courts held on the three great festivals of the year, or on special occasions, to certain important events, and to an inconsiderable number of dated charters. The great bulk of Henry's writs and charters can never be dated with any degree of certainty ; in the majority of instances not even the at The University of British Colombia Library on September 8, 2015 precise year can be ascertained. To make use of the bulk of the material at our disposal it is necessary to import into the scheme a variety of matter not immediately relevant to an itinerary, such as the notices of the nomination, election, and consecration of ecclesiastics to episcopal sees and to the rule of monastic houses, notices of deaths, certain events recorded in the rise and growth of monasteries, which sometimes led to the issue of a royal confirmation, political events at home and abroad, judicial proceedings, and special enactments. The duration of the term of office held by officials of the king's household and court, by ecclesiastics and sheriffs of counties, when approximately ascertained, throws light on the period to which a charter or writ addressed to, or attested by, such individuals, belongs. For convenience of comparison, writs and charters issued at a given place within a definite period of years have been brought together ; but this must not be interpreted as a suggestion that they were all issued simultaneously.

ABSTRACT Throughout the early Middle Ages, the Clare earls of Hertford and. Gloucester were prominent figures on the political scene. Their position as baronial leaders was derived from their landed wealth, and was built up gradually over two hundred and fifty years. Richard I de Clare arrived in England in 1066 as a Norman adventurer, and was granted the honours of Tonbridge and Clare. The family more than doubled its laths during the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, mainly by inheritance, the greatest acquisition being the honour of Gloucester in 1217. Only in the first half of the twelfth century was the honour an autonomous unit. In the honour of Clare, the earls relied on their own tenants as officials in the twelfth century, but in the thirteenth the administration was professional and bureaucratic. The earl's relations with his sub-tenants are unknown before the early fourteenth century; then, in contrast to other estates, the Clare honour-court was busy, strong and fairly efficient.
