Until now, broad generalisations have been applied to all aristocratic women based on a long established scholarship on royal and comital women. Non-comital women have been overlooked, mainly because of an assumed lack of suitable sources from this time period. The first aim of this thesis is to demonstrate that there is a sufficient corpus of charters for a study of this social group of women. It is based on a database created from 5545 charters, of which 3046 were issued by non-comital women and men, taken from three case study counties, Oxfordshire, Suffolk and Yorkshire, and is also supported by other government records. This thesis demonstrates that non-comital women had significant social and economic agency in their own person. By means of a detailed analysis of charters and their clauses this thesis argues that scholarship on non- comital women must rethink the framework applied to the study of non-comital women to address the lifecycle as one of continuities and as active agents in a wider public society. Non-comital women’s agency and identity was not only based on land or in widowhood, which has been the one period in their life cycles where scholars have recognised some level of autonomy, and women had agency in all stages of their life cycle. Women’s agency and identity were drawn from and part of a wider framework that included their families, their kin, and broader local political, religious, and social networks. Natal families continued to be important sources of agency and identity to women long after they had married. Part A of the thesis applies modern charter diplomatic analysis methods to the corpus of charters to bring out and explore women’s presence therein. Part B contextualises these findings and explores women’s agency in their families, landholding, the gift-economy, and the wider religious and social networks of which they were a part. ii Table of Contents Abstract ............................................................................................ ii Table of Contents ................................................................................ iii List of Tables ..................................................................................... vi List of Figures ................................................................................... vii List of Accompanying Material ................................................................ viii Acknowledgements .............................................................................. ix Author’s Declaration ............................................................................. x Abbreviations ..................................................................................... xi Introduction ........................................................................................ 1 Historiography .................................................................................. 5 Methodology .................................................................................. 10 Part A – Women in the Sources ............................................................... 23 1 Charters Issued by Women ............................................................... 24 1.1 Superscriptions ....................................................................... 26 1.2 Marital Status ......................................................................... 31 1.3 Landholding ........................................................................... 40 1.4 Pro Anima Clauses ................................................................... 49 1.5 Seals and the Sealing of Charters .................................................. 58 1.6 Co-Issuers, Consentors, and Confirmations ...................................... 61 1.7 Conclusion ............................................................................. 64 2 Women as Co-issuers and Consentors ................................................... 66 2.1 Co-issuing .............................................................................. 67 2.2 Women as Consentors in Consent clauses ........................................ 79 2.3 Conclusion ............................................................................. 90 3 Women as Witnesses ...................................................................... 92 3.1 Who are Women Witnesses for?

  • The Bretons and Normans of England 1066-1154: the Family, the Fief and the Feudal Monarchy*
    © K.S.B. Keats-Rohan 1991. Published Nottingham Mediaeval Studies 36 (1992), 42-78 The Bretons and Normans of England 1066-1154: the family, the fief and the feudal monarchy* In memoriam R.H.C.Davis 1. The Problem (i) the non-Norman Conquest Of all the available studies of the Norman Conquest none has been more than tangentially concerned with the fact, acknowledged by all, that the regional origin of those who participated in or benefited from that conquest was not exclusively Norman. The non-Norman element has generally been regarded as too small to warrant more than isolated comment. No more than a handful of Angevins and Poitevins remained to hold land in England from the new English king; only slightly greater was the number of Flemish mercenaries, while the presence of Germans and Danes can be counted in ones and twos. More striking is the existence of the fief of the count of Boulogne in eastern England. But it is the size of the Breton contingent that is generally agreed to be the most significant. Stenton devoted several illuminating pages of his English Feudalism to the Bretons, suggesting for them an importance which he was uncertain how to define.1 To be sure, isolated studies of these minority groups have appeared, such as that of George Beech on the Poitevins, or those of J.H.Round and more recently Michael Jones on the Bretons.2 But, invaluable as such studies undoubtedly are, they tend to achieve no more for their subjects than the status of feudal curiosities, because they detach their subjects from the wider question of just what was the nature of the post-1066 ruling class of which they formed an integral part.

It was that the Kings of England, all the way from the Norman Conquest down to the times of Charles 1., had actually, in a good degree, so far as they knew, been in the habit of appointing as Peers those who deserved to be appointed. In general Iperceived those Peers of theirs were all Royal men of a sort, withminds fullof justice, valour and humanity, and all kinds of qualities that men ought to have who rule over others. And then their genealogy, the kind of sons and descendants they had, this also was remarkable : for there is a great deal more in genealogy than is generally believed at present.' — ' Carlyle, Inaugural Address at Edinburgh? 1866.
