THIS volume contains io6 inquisitions, ranging from 1294 to the spring of 1303, in addition to two omitted from the earher volumes, dated 1245 and 1282. The character of the inquisitions is much the same as those given in Vol. II. As regards the rank of the persons concerned, the most important inquisitions are those of the Earls of Lancaster (No. liv. ), the King's brother, relating to Pickering, and that of his uncle, the Earl of Cornwall (No. lxxxv.), lord of the Honour oi Knaresborough, this latter one unfortunately very imperfect. Some of the inquisitions are of considerable length, notably those of Roger Mowbray (Nos. lvi., cvii.) and John Bellew (No. cviii.). In addition to the usual inquisitiones post mortem and ad quod damnum there are three " Proofs of age,"—Geoffrey, son of Robert Luterel (No. xlviii.), Thomas, brother and heir of John de Longevilers (No. lxxxii«.), both from the Curia Regis Rolls, and of Henry, grandson of Henry, son of Conan of Kelfield (No.

  • LATERAN IV to IGNORANTIA SACERDOTUM by Andrew B
    TEACHING THE CREED AND ARTICLES OF FAITH IN ENGLAND: LATERAN IV TO IGNORANTIA SACERDOTUM By Andrew B. Reeves A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Centre for Medieval Studies University of Toronto © Copyright by Andrew B. Reeves 2009 Abstract Title: Teaching the Creed and Articles of Faith in England: Lateran IV to Ignorantia sacerdotum Submitted by: Andrew B. Reeves Degree: Doctor of Philosophy (2009) Department: Medieval Studies, University of Toronto This study examines how English laypeople and clergy of lower ranks were taught the basic principles of Christian doctrine as articulated in the Apostles‘ Creed and Articles of Faith. Chapter one addresses the theological and historical background. Over the course of the twelfth century, school-based theologians came to place an increasing emphasis on faith as a cognitive state while at the same time moral theologians sought to make sure that all Christians had a basic participation in the life of the Church. These trends led to an effort by the Church as an institution to make sure that all Christians had at least a basic understanding of the Christian religion. Chapter two examines how the episcopate carried out a drive to ensure this basic level of understanding through the venues of councils, synods, and deanery and archdeaconry meetings. In all three of these venues, the requirements of making sure the laity know the Creed and Articles of Faith were passed on to parochial clergy, and through these clergy to the laity. Chapter three concerns one particular aspect of presenting the basics of doctrine to the laity, viz., preaching.

  • The Family and Descendants of Sir Thomas More
    The Family and Descendants of Sir Thomas More Grandparents: William More and Johanna Joye: William was a Citizen and Baker of London. He died in 1469. Johanna (d.1470) was the daughter of John Joye, a Citizen and Brewer of London and his wife Johanna, daughter of John Leycester, a Chancery Clerk. Due to the seizure of family documents by Henry VIII following Thomas More‟s execution his ancestry cannot be traced back further than this. He referred to himself as “a Londoner born, of no noble family, but of honest stock”. [Note: It has sometimes been claimed that Sir John More, Thomas More‟s father, said that his ancestors came from Ireland. However, what he actually said was that his ancestors “either came out of the Mores of Ireland, or they came out of us”. No records of any Irish links have been discovered.] Parents: Sir John More (c.1451-1530) and Agnes Graunger (d.1499): John and Agnes were married in the church of St Giles without Cripplegate, London, on 24th April 1474. Agnes was the daughter of Thomas Graunger, an Alderman of London and a Merchant of the Staple of Calais. Agnes was John More‟s first wife, and the mother of all his children. Agnes died in 1499 and was buried in the Church of St. Michael Bassishaw, London. After her death John More married again three times. His second wife was Joan Marshall (the widow of John Marshall) who died in 1505. His third wife was Joan Bowes (the widow of Thomas Bowes) who died in 1520.

  • PARISH MAGAZINE APRIL 2 0 2 0 50P Sharing Resurrection Hope in Times of Trouble
    ORDINARY PEOPLE. EXT RAORDINARY GOD. PARISH MAGAZINE APRIL 2 0 2 0 50p Sharing resurrection hope in times of trouble As I write, the world seems to be gripped with great fear about the spread of the Covid-19 Coronavirus. Time will tell exactly what the ex- tent and seriousness of this illness is to be, but for those in positions of authority and influence there is a very narrow and difficult way in which to tread at present. This is because, on the one hand it’s essential that we don’t dissolve into irrational panic by hoarding supplies for ourselves or for our families and causing shortages for society, but on the other hand we can’t be complacent and leave it all to chance. The narrow way is to ‘keep our heads’, to be well-informed and calmly prepared – and primed to make sacrifices for the common good, if and when the need arises. This month we will travel from Palm Sunday, through Holy Week to the cross, and beyond to Easter Day just as the apostles and Jesus’s other followers did those 2000 years ago. Perhaps we can learn something for our present situation from those early Christians? Seeing their leader broken, humiliated and killed must surely have sent great waves of despair and panic through those disciples. We see a glimpse of this pure fear before Jesus is executed, when Peter – aban- doning himself to a natural instinct for self-preservation– denies Jesus when questioned. We don’t know if there was a disciple equivalent of a COBRA meeting called on Holy Saturday or Good Friday evening, when the option to dis- perse, give up and race away from the scene ahead of any crackdown on Jesus’s followers must have seemed pretty attractive.

  • INDULGENCES and SOLIDARITY in LATE MEDIEVAL ENGLAND By
    INDULGENCES AND SOLIDARITY IN LATE MEDIEVAL ENGLAND by ANN F. BRODEUR A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Toronto Copyright by Ann F. Brodeur, 2015 Indulgences and Solidarity in Late Medieval England Ann F. Brodeur Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Toronto 2015 Abstract Medieval indulgences have long had a troubled public image, grounded in centuries of confessional discord. Were they simply a crass form of medieval religious commercialism and a spiritual fraud, as the reforming archbishop Cranmer charged in his 1543 appeal to raise funds for Henry VIII’s contributions against the Turks? Or were they perceived and used in a different manner? In his influential work, Indulgences in Late Medieval England: Passports to Paradise, R.N. Swanson offered fresh arguments for the centrality and popularity of indulgences in the devotional landscape of medieval England, and thoroughly documented the doctrinal development and administrative apparatus that grew up around indulgences. How they functioned within the English social and devotional landscape, particularly at the local level, is the focus of this thesis. Through an investigation of published episcopal registers, my thesis explores the social impact of indulgences at the diocesan level by examining the context, aims, and social make up of the beneficiaries, as well as the spiritual and social expectations of the granting bishops. It first explores personal indulgences given to benefit individuals, specifically the deserving poor and ransomed captives, before examining indulgences ii given to local institutions, particularly hospitals and parishes. Throughout this study, I show that both lay people and bishops used indulgences to build, reinforce or maintain solidarity and social bonds between diverse groups.

  • A History of the English Parish: the Culture of Religion from Augustine to Victoria N
    Cambridge University Press 0521633486 - A History of the English Parish: The Culture of Religion from Augustine to Victoria N. J. G. Pounds Frontmatter More information A HISTORY OF THE ENGLISH PARISH Most writings on church history have been concerned mainly with church hierarchy, and with theology, liturgy and canon law. This book looks at the church ‘from below’, from the lowest stratum of its organisation – the parish – in which the church build- ing is seen as the parishioners’ handiwork and as a reflection of local popular culture. The book discusses in turn the origin and development of the system of precisely defined parishes, their function – in terms of economics and personnel – and the church fabric which embodied the aspirations of parishioners, who saw the church more as an expression of their cultural and social hopes than as the embodiment of their faith. The book ends with the failure of the parish to meet all its obligations – social, governmental and religious – from the late eighteenth century onwards. The book emphasises throughout that the parish had a dual function, secular and religious, becoming both the lowest level in the administrative structure of this country, and a unit for spiritual and pastoral care. These functions became increas- ingly incompatible, although the book ends on the brink of the final breakdown in the nineteenth century. N. J. G. POUNDS is University Professor Emeritus of History and Geography, Indiana University and Honorary Fellow of Fitzwilliam College, Cambridge. Born in Bath in , Professor Pounds has had a long and prolific teaching and writing career. His many publications include the three-volume An Historical Geography of Europe (, , ), which has been revised and rewritten as a single-volume, general survey under the same title (), The Medieval Castle in England and Wales (, paperback ) and The Culture of the English People: Iron Age to the Industrial Revolution ().

  • York Minster's Chapter House and Its Painted Glass Narratives
    York Minster’s Chapter House and its Painted Glass Narratives Volume 1 of 3 Ann Hilary Moxon PhD University of York History of Art December 2017 Abstract This thesis focuses on the late thirteenth-century narrative glazing scheme of the chapter house in York Minster and the political and religious context of its design. Created as an intrinsic and integrated part of one of the most elaborate and important buildings in the period, the glass has suffered interventions affecting both its appearance and the positions of its narrative panels. By examining the glass in the context of contemporary visual and textual material, it has been possible to reconstruct the original order of the panels and to identify the selection of episodes the lives of the saints, some for the first time. The study has demonstrated the extent to which the iconography was rooted in liturgy and theology relevant to the period which, in turn, reflected the priorities of a dominant group among the active members of Chapter for whose use the building was constructed and, by extension, the contemporary Church. Further, the glass shows strong Mariological themes which reflected features in the rest of the decorative scheme and the architecture of the chapter house, indicating that the glazing scheme may have been conceived as part of the architectural whole. The conclusions are supported by parallel research into the prosopography of the contemporary Chapter which additionally suggests that the conception of the programme may have had its roots in the baronial wars of the

  • Birmingham Lectures A5
    THE BIRMINGHAM LECTURE SERIES 2010 Tuesday 9 February CHILLINGTON HALL: THE NEXT 800 YEARS John and Crescent Giffard John and Crescent Giffard have lived at Chillington Hall, an eighteenth-century house near Brewood in Staffordshire, for the past eleven years, but the site has been the home of the Giffard family since 1178. In this lecture, John and Crescent will talk about their fascinating family history, their award-winning restoration of the house, and their plans for securing its future for the next 800 years. John and Crescent Giffard have been married for 32 years and have two children. John Giffard was the Chief Constable of Staffordshire from 1996 until his retirement in 2006. During his career, he held several important, national posts, including Senior Professional Advisor to the Home Secretary and Vice President of the Association of Chief Police Officers. Tuesday 23 February CAPABILITY BROWN: VANDAL OR VISIONARY? Neil Cook and Michael Smith Was the eighteenth-century landscape architect, Lancelot ‘Capability’ Brown, a visionary who revolutionised the world of landscape design or a vandal who swept away the formal, geometric, French style of garden? In this debate, Neil Cook and Michael Smith from the National Trust will go head to head and passionately argue the case for and against Capability Brown and his impact on English landscape history. Neil Cook is Head Gardener at Hanbury Hall, where he has been responsible since 1988 for the development of the gardens and, in particular, the recreation of the formal, George London garden. Michael Smith is Property Manager of Croome Park and has recently supervised the restoration of the Park’s landscape, which was Capability Brown’s first, landmark commission.

November 14, 2012 iii Abstract THE ROLE OF RITUAL AND CEREMONIAL IN THE REIGN OF EDWARD I Marla Lynn Morris, M.A. The University of Texas at Arlington, 2012 Supervising Professor: Sarah Davis-Secord Often it is said that no one is better at pomp and pageantry than the British monarchy, and indeed, this has been the case at least since the time when medieval kings ruled England. One monarch in particular stands out as having successfully utilized royal ritual and ceremonial to great political, military and personal gain. Edward I is widely considered one of England’s most dynamic, respected and successful monarchs. Called a “precedent seeker,”1 the king’s reign was “. one of the most pivotal in the whole of British history, a moment when the destinies of England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland were decided.”2 Edward summoned the biggest armies and convened the largest parliaments seen in England during the entire span of the Middle Ages.
