ASPECTS OF TIlE MONASTIC PATRONAGE OF TIlE ENGLISH AND FRENCH ROYAL HOUSES, c. 1130-1270 by Elizabeth M. Hallani VC i% % Thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, in History presented at the University of London. 1976. / •1 ii SUMMARY This study takes as its theme the relationship of the English and French kings and the religious orders, £.1130-1270, Patronage in general is a field relatively neglected in the rich literature on the monastic life, and royal patronage has never before been traced over a broad period for both France and England. The chief concern here is with royal favour shown towards the various orders of monks and friars, in the foundations and donations made by the kings. This is put in the context of monastic patronage set in a wider field, and of the charters and pensions which are part of its formaL expression. The monastic foundations and the general pattern of royal donations to different orders are discussed in some detail in the core of the work; the material is divided roughly according to the reigns of the kings. Evidence from chronicles and the physical remains of buildings is drawn upon as well as collections of charters and royal financial documents. The personalities and attitudes of the monarchs towards the religious hierarchy, the way in which monastic patronage reflects their political interests, and the contrasts between English and French patterns of patronage are all analysed, and the development of the royal monastic mausoleum in Western Europe is discussed as a special case of monastic patronage. A comparison is attempted of royal and non-royal foundations based on a statistical analysis. The iting and architectural style of royal monasteries, the political implications of monastic patronage, and the extent to which royal patronage affected religious orders are also examined; finally there is a brief treatment of royal patronage after £.1270. Transcripts of imprinted charters and photographs of royal monasteries are included as pices lustificatives. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Particular thanks are due to Professor C.N.L. Brooke for his unfailing help and encouragement and his constructive criticisms made throughout the course of this work. I am also indebted to Professor R.M.T. Hill and Dr. David Bates for invaluable suggestions and advice. I would like to thank the staffs of the Institute of Historical Research and other central and local archives in France and England for a great deal of assistance. Finally to my parents and my husband go thanks of a different kind, for their patience and help in seeing the work through to its completion. iv TABLE OF CONTENTS Page Sumrnari 11 Acknowledgements 1]1 Chapter I The ideas, the nature and the functioning of royal patronage of the religious orders.

The Study and the Sources. Geoffrey of Beaulieu wrote of Louis IX of France: 'quis enarrare sufficeret, quam largas et frequentas elemosinas Pius rex assidue erogaret pauperibus religiosis ac conventibus plurirnis tam sanctimonialium quam viroruni, similiter hospitalibus pauperum, ac domibus leprosaruin, et aliorum collegiis pauperum, tainquam specialis pater eorum? Sane, cuni inter caetera pietatis opera singulis annis solitus esset circa principi.um hiemis conventibus fratrum minoruxn et fratrun3 praedicatorurn Parisiensiuni summain pecuniae elargiri pro suis necessitatibus providendis et eb ineunte aetate domus et monazte?a religiosoruin coepit aedificare' • 1 Hagiographers have used such royal largesse as evidence of the sanctity of Saint Louis, but historians have rarely examined in a wider context the gifts of this kind made by kings to the religious orders. This study attempts to remedy the lacuna in a relatively limited field. It is concerned with the interest in and the favour shown towards the monastic orders, the hospitals and the friars by the English and the French kings in the period c. 1130-1270. The question of which orders were favoured by individual kings is an important one, because the reasons for this favour can reveal a great deal about the politics and the characters of individual kings, and its benefits greatly affected the orders themselves. The account is based mainly upon the foundations and refoundations made by these kings together with important donations, safeguards and pensions as additional evidence. Charters and royal administrative records provide the basic material here, but contemporary chronicles, letters, hagiographical literature and poetry are drawn upon widely in its interpretation. Furthermore the 1. N. Bouquet, Recueil des Historiens des Gaules et de la France, ed. L. Delisle, 2k vols, Paris, 1 869-190k (= H.Fr.), XX, 11. 2 monastic houses themselves provide valuable evidence both in their siting and their plan and appearance. The architecture of royal monastic foundations and of other royal buildings is thus given considerable emphasis. These diverse elements, charters, chronicles and buildings, can give wide and varied insights into the patronage relationship, its expectations and manifestations, its problems, and the rewards for both sides. All these questions are given general analysis based on the core of the study, which is a treatment of the degree of favour shown by individual kings to the different orders. The special nature of royal patronage is heightened by general contrast with non-royal patronage and by a statistical analysis of the rate of foundation of houses for the different orders during the period, compared with the pattern of creation of the royal houses. In addition, the development of a special kind of royal monastery, the mausoleum, is traced in some detail, and draws upon examples from Spain, Sicily, Portugal and Scotland, as well as England and France.

A THESIS PRESENTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE GiLA.DUATE SCHOOL IN PARTLVL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY 'B J <^n5w Introductory LITTLE less than one hundred years after the death of King John, a Scottish Prince John changed his name, upon his accession to L the and at the request of his nobles, A throne to avoid the ill omen which darkened the name of the English king and of John of France. A century and a half later, King John of England was presented in the first English historical play as the earliest English champion and martyr of that Protestant religion to which the spectators had newly come. The interpretation which thus depicted him influenced in Shakespeare's play, at once the greatest literary presentation of King John and the source of much of our common knowledge of English history. In spite of this, how- ever, the idea of John now in the mind of the person who is no student of history is nearer to the conception upon which the old Scotch nobles acted. According to this idea, John is weak, licentious, and vicious, a traitor, usurper and murderer, an excommunicated man, who was com- pelled by his oppressed barons, with the Archbishop of Canterbury at their head, to sign Magna Charta.

Abstract: The Cistercian order is of acoustic interest because previous research has hypothesized that Cistercian architectural structures were designed for longer reverberation times in order to reinforce Gregorian chants. The presented study focused on an archaeoacacoustics analysis of the Cistercian Beaulieu Abbey (Hampshire, England, UK), using Geometrical Acoustics (GA) to recreate and investigate the acoustical properties of the original structure. To construct an acoustic model of the Abbey, the building’s dimensions and layout were retrieved from published archaeology research and comparison with equivalent structures. Absorption and scattering coefficients were assigned to emulate the original room surface materials’ acoustics properties. CATT-Acoustics was then used to perform the acoustics analysis of the simplified building structure. Shorter reverbera- tion time (RTs) was generally observed at higher frequencies for all the simulated scenarios. Low speech intelligibility index (STI) and speech clarity (C50) values were observed across Abbey’s nave section. Despite limitations given by the impossibility to calibrate the model according to in situ measurements conducted in the original structure, the simulated acoustics performance suggested Citation: Duran, S.; Chambers, M.; how the Abbey could have been designed to promote sacral music and chants, rather than preserve Kanellopoulos, I.

    Parish of Skipton*

    294 HISTORY OF CRAVEN. PARISH OF SKIPTON* HAVE reserved for this parish, the most interesting part of my subject, a place in Wharfdale, in order to deduce the honour and fee of Skipton from Bolton, to which it originally belonged. In the later Saxon times Bodeltone, or Botltunef (the town of the principal mansion), was the property of Earl Edwin, whose large possessions in the North were among the last estates in the kingdom which, after the Conquest, were permitted to remain in the hands of their former owners. This nobleman was son of Leofwine, and brother of Leofric, Earls of Mercia.J It is somewhat remarkable that after the forfeiture the posterity of this family, in the second generation, became possessed of these estates again by the marriage of William de Meschines with Cecilia de Romille. This will be proved by the following table:— •——————————;——————————iLeofwine Earl of Mercia§=j=......... Leofric §=Godiva Norman. Edwin, the Edwinus Comes of Ermenilda=Ricardus de Abrineis cognom. Domesday. Goz. I———— Matilda=.. —————— I Ranulph de Meschines, Earl of Chester, William de Meschines=Cecilia, daughter and heir of Robert Romille, ob. 1129. Lord of Skipton. But it was before the Domesday Survey that this nobleman had incurred the forfeiture; and his lands in Craven are accordingly surveyed under the head of TERRA REGIS. All these, consisting of LXXVII carucates, lay waste, having never recovered from the Danish ravages. Of these-— [* The parish is situated partly in the wapontake of Staincliffe and partly in Claro, and comprises the townships of Skipton, Barden, Beamsley, Bolton Abbey, Draughton, Embsay-with-Eastby, Haltoneast-with-Bolton, and Hazlewood- with-Storithes ; and contains an area of 24,7893.

I am also a highway engineer, with senior level experience in road & lighting maintenance. I have served on many planning committees, dealing with large and complicated applications and as being a property developer I am a fully qualified, NHBC approved construction engineer. This letter sets out my written representations of the objections I wish to raise at the enquiry in accordance with your rule 8 letter dated 11th April 2019. My observations are in direct response to the initial announcement of the proposal and the details within the subsequent application documents by Highways England, which include their case for the scheme. My first observation to the planning proposal is to question the objective of the scheme. If I may remind ourselves what the Prime Minister David Cameron (Conservative) said when he visited Stonehenge hours after an early morning visit by deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg (Liberal Democrat) on 1st December 2014, promising £2 billion shortly before launching the 2015 general election campaign. The Prime Minister claimed there was now an 'unstoppable momentum' behind the scheme.

Despite this H importance, however, only recently have these practices received significant scholarly attention, and certain aspects of these customs have been overlooked; in particular, the relationship of women to these prac- tices, which has been explored by only one scholar, Yvonne Friedman.3 Friedman’s work on female captives, while illuminating, only focuses on women as passive victims of war; that is, as captives to be taken, sold, or traded. In fact, the idea that women could only be victims of hostage- and captive-taking is almost universally assumed in the scholarship. But some women from the highest echelons of medieval society figure in the story as a good deal more than passive victims. The sources are littered with examples that not only illuminate the importance of women and gender to the customs/practices associated with hostages and captives, but also how women used them to exercise power and independence militarily, politically, and socially. Able to take matters into their own hands, these women played the game of politics, ruled their own or their husbands’ lands, and participated in the active taking and holding of hostages and captives. Examining these women is essential not only for expanding our knowledge of the more general processes of hostage- and captive-taking and holding, but also for understanding how and why women were able (or unable) to navigate them.
