This book cannot be expected to please everybody, and it makes no attempt to conciliate those who prefer sentiment to truth, or who allow their reading of historical events to be distorted by present-day controversies, whether ecclesiastical or political. In that respect it tries to live up to the dictum of Samuel Butler that 'he excels most who hits the golden mean most exactly in the middle'.

    Emily Mitchell Patronage and Politics at Barking Abbey, c. 950 - c. 1200 Abstract This thesis is a study of the Benedictine abbey of Barking in Essex from the tenth to the twelfth centuries. It is based on a wide range of published and unpublished documentary sources, and on hagiographie texts written at the abbey. It juxtaposes the literary and documentary sources in a new way to show that both are essential for a full understanding of events, and neither can be fully appreciated in isolation. It also deliberately crosses the political boundary of 1066, with the intention of demonstrating that political events were not the most significant determinant of the recipients of benefactors’ religious patronage. It also uses the longer chronological scale to show that patterns of patronage from the Anglo-Saxon era were frequently inherited by the incoming Normans along with their landholdings. Through a detailed discussion of two sets of unpublished charters (Essex Record Office MSS D/DP/Tl and Hatfield, Hatfield House MS Ilford Hospital 1/6) 1 offer new dates and interpretations of several events in the abbey’s history, and identify the abbey’s benefactors from the late tenth century to 1200. As Part III shows, it has been possible to trace patterns of patronage which were passed down through several generations, crossing the political divide of 1066. Royal patronage is shown to have been of great significance to the abbey, and successive kings exploited their power of advowson in different ways according to the political atmosphere o f England. The literary sources are discussed in a separate section, but with full reference to the historical narrative.

  • THE STORY of an ENGLISH SAINT's CULT: an ANALYSIS of the INFLUENCE of ST ÆTHELTHRYTH of ELY, C.670
    THE STORY OF AN ENGLISH SAINT’S CULT: AN ANALYSIS OF THE INFLUENCE OF ST ÆTHELTHRYTH OF ELY, c.670 – c.1540 by IAN DAVID STYLER A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of History School of History and Cultures College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham August 2019 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation. Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged. Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. ABSTRACT This thesis charts the history of the cult of St Æthelthryth of Ely, arguing that its longevity and geographical extent were determined by the malleability of her character, as narrated within the hagiographical texts of her life, and the continued promotion of her shrine by parties interested in utilising her saintly power to achieve their goals. Arranged chronologically and divided into five distinct periods, the thesis demonstrates that this symbiotic relationship was key in maintaining and elongating the life of the cult. Employing digital humanities tools to analyse textual, archaeological, material, cartographic, and documentary sources covering the cult’s eight-hundred-year history, the study charts its development firstly within East Anglia, and subsequently across the whole country, and internationally.

HiNTON LTHOUGH in no way a substitute for a full catalogue, a gazeteer of the A9th to 15th century archaeological objects in the Ashmolean Museum may be useful as a geographical guide to the Department of Antiquities' collections. The lists include only registered objects at present in the museum, and not material from unpublished excavations stored here. The list has been coded for ease of reference. Some objects included may be post-~ledie\'al. Unprovenanced material does not, of course, appear. Material from Oxford has been plotted onto a map (FIG. I), and a list of the site numbers is kept in the museum. Few sites are exactly located in the museum's archives, and the position of the numbers i therefore approximate only. Numbers in the middle of streets may indicate discoveries made during digging for service trenches, or may illustrate vague entries like' found in George Street '. The map is strictly a gazeteer of the museum's registered collection, and SO gives no information about the number of objects from each site, and is in no way a guide to the known excavations in the city. Objects recorded in the accessions book which cannot now be identified have been omitted. A more complete catalogue of floor tiles /i'om out, ide the Oxford area follows the gazeteer. CODE A Pottery.

The second and third volumes are far advanced, and will shortly be in the press. The object of ^ the series is to give a calendar, chronologically arranged and the of critically annotated, of the royal acts of period, and some cognate documents which are valuable for the historian. The first care of the editor has been to call attention to materials which iUustrate the development of law and institutions. But the interests of the genealogist and the topographer have not been neglected. Pains have been taken to record the names of persons, and the more important names of places, which are mentioned in the docu- ments. The collection includes charters issued in and for Normandy. Norman archives have not been searched for the purpose, since the Norman material is being coUected by Professor Haskins. But it seemed advisable to calendar such Norman charters as have been or are to be found in for of printed EngUsh manuscripts ; many these charters throw useful sideUghts upon EngUsh history.

A succession of men were sent by William I to attempt to rule it and several paid with their lives: Copsi, sent in 1068, killed that year; Robert de Comines, sent in 1068, killed January 1069; Gospatric, 1069, deprived in 1072; Waltheof, 1072, executed 1076; Walcher, bishop of Durham, murdered 1080; Aubrey, 1080, retired to Normandy perhaps c. 1085; Robert de Mowbray, after Earl Aubrey’s retirement, rebelled and imprisoned 1095. Simeon of Durham listed King Malcolm III’s violent incursions into the county from the first in 1061 to the fifth and last in 1093, when the Scottish army was ambushed near Alnwick by a force assembled by Robert de Mowbray, earl of Northumberland.1 Malcolm 1 The list of earls of Northumberland is based on Complete Peerage, ix. 704–6, which in turn rests mainly on the list of early earls that appears in two versions in Simeon’s works (ed. Hinde, 89–93, 212–13). The date given in Complete Peerage for Aubrey’s resignation and Earl Robert’s succession, ‘probably 1080 or 1081’, relies on a charter of William I for Caen Saint-Étienne with the signum of ‘Robert earl de Mowbray’ (W1/49).
