Journeys of Relics in Tenth to Twelfth Century Northern France and Flanders UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Bringing Out the Saints: Journeys of Relics in Tenth to Twelfth Century Northern France and Flanders A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in History by Kate Melissa Craig 2015 © Copyright by Kate Melissa Craig 2015 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Bringing Out the Saints: Journeys of Relics in Tenth to Twelfth Century Northern France and Flanders by Kate Melissa Craig Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Los Angeles, 2015 Professor Patrick Geary, Chair The social importance of saints’ relics during the European Middle Ages is well documented, yet relics have rarely been treated as mobile objects beyond discussions of their transportation from one permanent location to another (a “translation”). This dissertation examines the practice of taking relics on out-and-back journeys to explore the consequences of temporarily removing these objects from the churches in which they were housed and displayed, focusing on northern France and the Low Countries during the high Middle Ages. Medieval relics were considered direct conduits to the supernatural power of the saints, and an itinerant relic projected religious, economic, and political authority onto the areas it traveled through. However, travel also brought a relic into contact with unfamiliar audiences. Using evidence from customaries, hagiography, charters, and images, I demonstrate that while moving relics transformed them into versatile tools of power, it also exposed them to criticism, antagonism, and danger from both lay and ecclesiastical groups. ii The first chapter argues that relics traveled frequently and regularly by tracking the appearance of instructions for temporary relic movement across eleventh-century customaries, mainly from the monastery of Cluny. The next three chapters examine hagiographical texts to reveal the complexity of the interactions between those performing relic journeys and three groups that they might encounter en route: other ecclesiastics, lay property owners, and the laity at large. The second chapter shows that while bringing their relics together could serve as a demonstration of goodwill between multiple monasteries, moving one relic into the physical presence of another might also provoke intense conflict. The third chapter examines the roles mobile relics could play in monastic property disputes, ranging from intimidation of lay opponents to more subtle assertions of authority over a landscape. The fourth chapter demonstrates that although medieval lay devotion to relics is often taken for granted, a mobile relic might also incite dissent or rejection from local laypeople. Finally, the fifth chapter explores visual and textual imaginings of relic journeys and their significance, especially the use of the Ark of the Covenant as a motif to valorize the experience of transporting relics. iii The dissertation of Kate Melissa Craig is approved.

  • Who Was Fursey and Why Aldeby?
    'CELEBRATING SAINT FURSEY' WHO WAS FURSEY? WHY ALDEBY? In the 7th century, about 1380 years ago, a group of Irish monks, with distinctive rather wild-looking hairstyles, arrived in East Anglia. They were welcomed by the new Christian King, and worked alongside a newly arrived Bishop from France to proclaim the Christian Gospel in this part of England. Their leader was a monk-priest, Fursey, the first Irish religious leader to work in England, and one of the great Irish missionaries to Europe. He had tremendous influence in western Christendom, both during his lifetime and in the centuries following. In 1495 a resident of Aldeby, John Wallys, made his will. In it he asked that “my body to be buried in the Chapel of Saint Fursey within the church of Our Lady of Aldeby”. It is the earliest reference we have for the medieval dedication of the north transept chapel of this church. Although there are a number of dedications in Ireland and France, the chapel of this church remains the only medieval dedication to St Fursey in England. There may be two reasons for this dedication to East Anglia’s first known missionary. About 1100, Bishop Herbert de Losinga was building his great Norman Cathedral in Norwich, and Aldeby became one of the six priories he established in his diocese. Although small, with only a Prior and three monks, it was important to the Benedictine Mother House in Norwich. The monks here would have used the Norwich calendar, which doubtless remembered Fursey, in their daily worship. Such a local saint could have inspired them to build the large north transept in his honour.

LONDON NEW YORK. BOMBAY AND CALCUTTA' 1940 THE ENGLISH HISTORICAL' REVIEW NO. CCXX.-OCTOBER 1940. Grimbald of St. Bertin's PART from Asser, the most famous of the scholars who came Ato England in the reign of King Alfred was Grimbald of St. Bertin's.' The sources for his life are very meagre. On the Flemish side there are a few contemporary charters, the tenth- century Gesta monasterii S. Bertini of Folcuin, the fourteenth- century chronicle of Jolm of Ypres, and the information contained in the lections for the feast of St. Grimbald in the medieval breviary of St. Bertin's. On the English side Grimbald is mentioned in a number of contemporary sources-Asser's Life 0/ King AI/red, the preface to Alfred's translation of the Pastoral Care, a letter from Archbishop Fulk of Rheims to the king, the ANgw-Saxon Chronicle-and he naturally played a part in the traditions of the abbey of New Minster (Hyde), where his body was piously preserved. Only two medieval biographies of the saint have hitherto been known. One is the fourteenth-century summery of his life by John of Tynemouth which was incor- porated by Capgrave in his Nova legenda Angliae, and which is too late to be of any value. The other is a Vita S.
