After a long and varied struggle, he would rescue England from its Danish invaders. HDT WHAT? INDEX ARCHBISHOPS OF CANTERBURY ARCHBISHOPS OF CANTERBURY 890 CE Plegmund became Archbishop of Canterbury. At about this point the cleric Aethelstan was commissioned by King Alfred the Great of England to prepare a vernacular description of appropriate chivalric behavior, specifically requesting that this be the sort of account even his grandson would be able to comprehend. This kingly commission would result in an untitled poem that in the 18th Century scholars would begin to term “Beowulf.” Aethelstan imagined his story as happening during the 6th Century: a Swedish prince, Beowulf, sails to England to struggle against a human monster who invades Anglo/Scandinavian mead-halls at night to gorge himself upon human flesh. Beowulf, exceedingly strong, grabs the monster by the arm, and he attempts to jerk away. The arm is ripped from its socket and the monster runs screaming armless into the night to die. However, several days later, the monster’s mother attempts to avenge herself on Beowulf. When Beowulf grapples with her she throws him to the floor. She attempts to stab him but his ring-mail turns the point, and grabbing a sword, he slashes off her head. Apparently what made this into examples of “appropriate chivalric behavior” was that the fighting made use only of the sort of weapon being employed by the opponent. Since the monster who invaded the mead-hall at night, Grendel, used only his teeth, Beowulf wrestles with him rather than resorting to any weapon. When the monster’s mother attacks, Beowulf resorts to a blade only after she has used one. Hoo-hah.

According to the Primary Chronicle, created during the 12th Century, it had been in this timeframe that Prince Vladimir of Kiev wed a Byzantine princess by converting to the Greek Orthodox faith, a belief system that would not require him to give up either pork or wine, or fast or be circumcised. The Orthodox Church would indulge in some wishful reconstruction of history and assert that what this had amounted to, two centuries earlier, had been the conversion to Christianity of all Russia (although the Slavic peasantry would be worshiping a thunder-god, Pyerun, into the 18th Century and taking oaths on Moist Mother Earth into the 20th Century).

He had succeeded his mentor as abbot of Bec in 1078 CE. While at Bec, he had written his MONOLOGIUM and PROSLOGIUM, containing what purport to be proofs of the existence of God. As Archbishop, he would oppose lay investiture and would twice be exiled to Rome, from 1097 CE to 1100 CE and from 1103 CE to 1107 CE.

  • The Tale of a Fish How Westminster Abbey Became a Royal Peculiar
    The Tale of a Fish How Westminster Abbey became a Royal Peculiar For Edric it had been a bad week’s fishing in the Thames for salmon and an even worse Sunday, a day on which he knew ought not to have been working but needs must. The wind and the rain howled across the river from the far banks of that dreadful and wild isle called Thorney with some justification. The little monastic church recently built on the orders of King Sebert stood forlornly waiting to be consecrated the next day by Bishop Mellitus, the first Bishop of London, who would be travelling west from the great Minster of St Paul’s in the City of London. As he drew in his empty nets and rowed to the southern bank he saw an old man dressed in strange and foreign clothing hailing him. Would Edric take him across even at this late hour to Thorney Island? Hopeful for some reward, Edric rowed across the river, moaning to the old man about the poor fishing he had suffered and received some sympathy as the old man seemed to have had some experience in the same trade. After the old man had alighted and entered the little church, suddenly the building was ablaze with dazzling lights and Edric heard chanting and singing and saw a ladder of angels leading from the sky to the ground. Edric was transfixed. Then there was silence and darkness. The old man returned and admonished Edric for fishing on a Sunday but said that if he caste his nets again the next day into the river his reward would be great.

Neale's translation in JMediaval Hymns and Sequences. PREFACE account of the Saxon Cathedral at Canterbury, and of the Saxon Saints buried therein, was written primarily for new THISmembers of Archaeological Societies, as well as for general readers who might desire to learn something of its history and organiza- tion in those far-away days. The matter has been drawn from the writings of men long since passed away. Their dust lies commingled with that of their successors who lived down to the time when this ancient Religious House fell upon revolutionary days, who witnessed its dissolution as a Priory of Benedictine Monks after nine centuries devoted to the service of God, and its re-establishment as a College of secular canons. This important change, taking place in the sixteenth century, was, with certain differences, a return to the organization which existed during the Saxon period.

  • The Holinshed Editors: Religious Attitudes and Their Consequences
    The Holinshed editors: religious attitudes and their consequences By Felicity Heal Jesus College, Oxford This is an introductory lecture prepared for the Cambridge Chronicles conference, July 2008. It should not be quoted or cited without full acknowledgement. Francis Thynne, defending himself when writing lives of the archbishops of Canterbury, one of sections of the 1587 edition of Holinshed that was censored, commented : It is beside my purpose, to treat of the substance of religion, sith I am onelie politicall and not ecclesiasticall a naked writer of histories, and not a learned divine to treat of mysteries of religion.1 And, given the sensitivity of any expression of religious view in mid-Elizabethan England, he and his fellow-contributors were wise to fall back, on occasions, upon the established convention that ecclesiastical and secular histories were in two separate spheres. It is true that the Chronicles can appear overwhelmingly secular, dominated as they are by scenes of war and political conflict. But of course Thynne did protest too much. No serious chronicler could avoid giving the history of the three kingdoms an ecclesiastical dimension: the mere choice of material proclaimed religious identity and, among their other sources, the editors drew extensively upon a text that did irrefutably address the ‘mysteries of religion’ – Foxe’s Book of Martyrs.2 Moreover, in a text as sententious as Holinshed the reader is constantly led in certain interpretative directions. Those directions are superficially obvious – the affirmation 1 Citations are to Holinshed’s Chronicles , ed. Henry Ellis, 6 vols.
