    “JUST AS THE PRIESTS HAVE THEIR WIVES”: PRIESTS AND CONCUBINES IN ENGLAND, 1375-1549 Janelle Werner A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History. Chapel Hill 2009 Approved by: Advisor: Professor Judith M. Bennett Reader: Professor Stanley Chojnacki Reader: Professor Barbara J. Harris Reader: Cynthia B. Herrup Reader: Brett Whalen © 2009 Janelle Werner ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT JANELLE WERNER: “Just As the Priests Have Their Wives”: Priests and Concubines in England, 1375-1549 (Under the direction of Judith M. Bennett) This project – the first in-depth analysis of clerical concubinage in medieval England – examines cultural perceptions of clerical sexual misbehavior as well as the lived experiences of priests, concubines, and their children. Although much has been written on the imposition of priestly celibacy during the Gregorian Reform and on its rejection during the Reformation, the history of clerical concubinage between these two watersheds has remained largely unstudied. My analysis is based primarily on archival records from Hereford, a diocese in the West Midlands that incorporated both English- and Welsh-speaking parishes and combines the quantitative analysis of documentary evidence with a close reading of pastoral and popular literature. Drawing on an episcopal visitation from 1397, the act books of the consistory court, and bishops’ registers, I argue that clerical concubinage occurred as frequently in England as elsewhere in late medieval Europe and that priests and their concubines were, to some extent, socially and culturally accepted in late medieval England.

  • Transition Challenges in the Devolved Nation

    Transition Challenges in the Devolved Nation

    C ommunity E nergy in Wales Transition challenges in the devolved nation Thesis submission for Master in Global Energy Transition and Governance 2018/19 Author Thomas Lewis Supervisor Rachel Guyet Abstract Community energy is a form of energy production that revolves around democratic participation, shared profits, and common ownership, and is being reproduced all across Wales. The National Assembly for Wales does not have powers over energy, but still has significant control over how the transition from a centralised energy system to a decentralised one can be planned using competencies in other subjects. After 20 years of devolution, little research has been undertaken to see how this has specifically affected community energy projects, which is why this paper set out to explore what a transition is in theory, how it applies to the Welsh context, and whether the country could be doing more to aid this transition using the powers it currently has. Through understanding the actors in play and how they interrelate, the government is able to enact policy to support the growth of community energy groups through new funding mechanisms, investment in skills, and democratic inclusion. Devolution has benefitted the transition towards having more community energy groups and political will can be blamed for barriers currently being faced. Questions in the future need to be raised about whether new powers should be granted to Wales to give it more control over grid regulation following recent policy enacted by the central government. 1 This thesis is dedicated to both of my parents, Paul and Sara Lewis, who gave me the skills and the support needed to be able to work on what I find meaningful.

    3~19 /1V, g66I OWEN GLENDOWER AND THE WELSH FIGHT FOR INDEPENDENCE THESIS Presented to the Graduate Council of the University of North Texas in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE By Phillip Eric Beims, B.A. Denton, Texas May, 1991 Rawl I Beims, Phillip Eric, OwenGlendower and the Welsh Fight for Independence. Master of Science (History), May, 1991, 133 pp., bibliography, 81 titles. Owen Glendower led the last military struggle of the Welsh against the English crown for Welsh independence and nationalism. The failure of the Glendower rebellion established the supremacy of English rule over Wales. For six hundred years the status of Wales as a principality of the crown has not been seriously challenged. This paper will show how widespread the idea of "Welshness" was in 1400 and how much support existed for Wales as an independent nation. Welshmen sought to move from the status of a medieval, tribal principality to a position of an independent nation capable and ready to stand with other national in the world. The role of leadership that Owen Glendower assumed in the final rebellion against the English king, Henry IV, lifted him from a popular Welsh prince to an historical legend.

    From Footnotes to Narrative

    1 INTRODUCTION LANGUISHING IN THE FOOTNOTES: WOMEN AND WELSH MEDIEVAL HISTORIOGRAPHY The era known as the high Middle Ages, in particular the thirteenth century, was an epochal period for Wales. While the high Middle Ages was a period of cultural transformation in all of western Europe, in Wales it was also a time of great upheaval and complete change, which was to have a greater impact on Welsh society than was experienced by most other medieval societies. In fact, for some, the effects of this upheaval and change in Wales may be described as catastrophic. The thirteenth century has been called the ‘age of the Welsh Princes’. Under the leadership of the rulers of the house of Gwynedd, the Welsh achieved some measure of independence from their English overlords during this century. For a time the native Welsh princes were able to mitigate their characteristic unrelenting internal conflict and factionalism and unite against their Anglo-Norman oppressors.1 Fundamental changes which were to have an overwhelming effect on Wales took place in England during this period. For example, the end of the twelfth and beginning of the thirteenth centuries saw the gradual introduction of the English common law into England, much of which is still in use to this day. The ascension to the English throne in 1272 of Edward I, who unlike his two predecessors was a strong king, was another factor in this upheaval and change which took place in Wales. 1 K.
