  • 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 ().

    Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-02214-0 - Bishops, Clerks, and Diocesan Governance in Thirteenth-Century England: Reward and Punishment Michael Burger Frontmatter More information Bishops, Clerks, and Diocesan Governance in Thirteenth-Century England This book investigates how bishops wielded reward and punishment to control their administrative subordinates in thirteenth-century England. Bishops had few effective avenues available to them for disciplining their clerks, and they rarely pursued the ones they had, preferring to secure their clerks’ service and loyalty through rewards. The chief reward was the benefice, often granted for life. Episcopal administrators’ security of tenure in these benefices, however, made them free agents, allowing them to transfer from diocese to diocese or even leave administration altogether; these clerks did not constitute a standing episcopal civil ser- vice. This tenuous bureaucratic relationship made the personal rela- tionship between bishop and clerk more important. Ultimately, many bishops communicated in terms of friendship with their administrators, who responded with expressions of devotion. Michael Burger’s study brings together ecclesiastical, social, legal, and cultural history, pro- ducing the first synoptic study of thirteenth-century English diocesan administration in decades. His research provides an ecclesiastical coun- terpoint to numerous studies of bastard feudalism in secular contexts. Michael Burger is Professor of History and Dean of the School of Liberal Arts at Auburn University at Montgomery. He is the author of The Shaping of the West: From Antiquity to the Enlightenment (2008) and the editor of the two-volume Sources for the History of Western Civilization (2003). His articles have appeared in Historical Research and Mediaeval Studies, among other journals.

  • The Reading Abbey Formulary (Berkshire Record Office, D/EZ 176/1)
    The Reading Abbey Formulary (Berkshire Record Office, D/EZ 176/1) Brian Kemp University of Reading In 2013 the Berkshire Record Office took possession of a small, neat parchment volume, bound in eighteenth-century vellum, which has become known as the Reading Abbey Formulary. It constitutes one of the most important acquisitions made by the Record Office for many years, and I shall say more later about how it came about. Although one cannot be absolutely certain that it is from Reading Abbey—it does not, for example, bear the usual Reading Abbey ex libris inscription: ‘Hic est liber Sancte Marie de Rading’. Quem qui celaverit vel fraudem de eo fecerit anathema sit ’, or any other medieval mark of provenance1 - a close analysis of the contents shows beyond all doubt that it was compiled either in and for the abbey or, at least, for a lawyer or senior scribe working there. As such, it was one of the small handful of Reading Abbey manuscript volumes still in private hands before it was purchased by the Record Office. It is also the only major Reading Abbey manuscript ever acquired by the Record Office, and it is therefore fitting and gratifying that after nearly five centuries since the abbey’s dissolution it has returned to the town where it was created. A number of medieval English formularies survive from monasteries, cathedrals and other corporate bodies. They form a very varied group, both in structure and in content, and were certainly not compiled in accordance with a standard plan.
