    Information on Joan of Leeds and the Priory of St Clements in York

    Joan of Leeds and the priory of St Clement in York, 1300-1324. Provided here is some background information on the state of the priory of St Clement in York at the time of Joan of Leeds. All references are from the registers of Archbishop William Greenfield and Archbishop William Melton, except where stated. References to further reading are provided at the end. • 1300 Certain men came to the priory gate leading a saddled horse. Cecily, a nun, met them and throwing off her habit rode with them to Darlington where she lived with Gregory de Thornton for three years or more (VCH 3, 129) Alice Waleys and Joan Saxton: the problem of lay women living in the precinct. • 1310: After a visitation the demolition was ordered of the private house of Alice Waleys (a lay woman), built within the convent precinct. Also, all girls older than 12 and all secular women except servants & washer women were also prohibited from living in the precinct. (Since 13 was the canonical age for profession as a nun the intention was clearly to allow younger lay girls to board but not those the same age as the nuns). • 1310: Joan Saxton, a nun, was ordered to live within the close at all times but not to hold any office. She was allowed to walk in the orchards and talk with other nuns and to receive friends and family as guests twice per year, but only in the presence of other nuns. She was forbidden any further contact with Alice Waleys who was to leave the convent.

Rosenberg Professor of the Humanities, Professor of Classical Studies, English and Comparative Literature Emily Steiner, Associate Professor of English CHAPTER TWO Liturgical Appropriations, Part 1: Carthusian Mystical Diaries Near the end of his Refectorium Salutis, the final text in a series of three mystical treatises found in Trinity College, Cambridge, MS O.2.56, Richard Methley (1450/1- 1527/8), brother of the Carthusian Charterhouse of Mount Grace, does a bit of name- dropping:150 When I had finished the mass, I grew more and more weak, because I was so totally affected by languor that my whole life consisted in love, languor, sweetness, fervor, song, and, what was even more rare, a sensible fervor which my love had promised me; and I often languished, just like the dear Richard of Hampole who was also frequently in such a passion.151 Methley’s explicit reference to Rolle ends a series of mystical experiences patterned after Rolle’s. For Methley, as for Rolle, excessus mentis was about experience, and his narration often lapses into the alliterative prosopoetics familiar to all students of the Rollean canon.152 But what is even more interesting about this reference is not that 150 Mount Grace (1389) was one of the few monastic establishments founded between the Black Death and the Reformation.

Carr (Suffolk County Council Archaeological Service, Conservation Division). Summary The discovery of two footings demonstrates that the western range of “The Crutched Friars”, a 16th century building constructed amongst the ruins of a mediaeval friary, once extended further to the north. This supports evidence from within the roof structure, which suggested that the west wing had been foreshortened and the assumption that the building once had symmetrical wings around an open courtyard. The footings are thought to be part of the Friary claustral buildings and 13th century in date. SMR information Planning application no.

    Illegitimacy and English Landed Society c.1285-c.1500 Helen Sarah Matthews A thesis presented to Royal Holloway, University of London in Fulfilment of the Requirements of the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy 1 Declaration of Authorship I, Helen Sarah Matthews, hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. Signed: ______________________ Date: ________________________ 2 Abstract This study examines the incidence of illegitimacy among members of the landed classes, broadly defined, in late medieval England and the factors which affected the ability of parents to provide for their illegitimate offspring. Illegitimacy has normally been studied from either a legal or a social standpoint. This thesis will combine these approaches in order to provide insight into the social structure of late medieval England. Illegitimacy was a matter which primarily affected the right to inherit property and by implication, the person’s associated status. The period from c.1285, when the statute De Donis Conditionalibus was enacted, to the end of the fifteenth century saw the development of a number of legal devices affecting the ability of landowners to plan the succession to their estates. The enfeoffment to use and the entail allowed landowners the opportunity to settle estates on illegitimate children, or anyone else, without permanently alienating the property from the family line. By the fifteenth century, this freedom of action was becoming restricted by pre-existing entails and a means of breaking entails developed. This study begins with a survey of the legal issues surrounding illegitimacy and the context within which landowners were able to make provision for illegitimate children.

    Church, Crown and Complaint: Petitions from Bishops to the English Crown in the Fourteenth Century

    CHURCH, CROWN AND COMPLAINT: PETITIONS FROM BISHOPS TO THE ENGLISH CROWN IN THE FOURTEENTH CENTURY MATTHEW PHILLIPS Thesis submitted to the University of Nottingham for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy DECEMBER 2013 Abstract This thesis explores the interaction of bishops with both the English crown and members of late medieval society more generally by focusing on petitions and the supplicatory strategies adopted by bishops in their endeavours to secure legal remedy. Aside from revealing that bishops were often indistinguishable from lay petitioners in terms of the content of their petitions, with many of their complaints arising from their role as great landlords and tenants-in-chief rather than relating to the exercise of episcopal office, this research has also demonstrated that distinct supplicatory cultures separated the clergy from the laity. Notably, whereas petitions from lay supplicants often incorporated crown-alignment rhetoric into their petitions, thereby mirroring the language of ‘common profit’ found in common petitions, petitions from bishops reflected the supplicatory character of the clerical gravamina and presented requests for the exclusive interest of the church. As such, petitions from bishops, alongside the clerical gravamina, encapsulated a set of values, manifest through the use of language and rhetoric, which sought to assert the institutional independence of the church. Yet, despite being part of a supplicatory culture which sought to defend church autonomy and ecclesiastical jurisdictional integrity, the petitionary system in England sapped the supplicatory strength of the clergy and reduced their ability to defend their autonomy in the face of royal demands. Acknowledgements I am extremely grateful to the AHRC for providing three years of doctoral funding, without which this project would not have been possible.
  • Interactions Between Medieval Clergy and Laity in a Regional Context

    Interactions Between Medieval Clergy and Laity in a Regional Context

    Clergy and Commoners: Interactions between medieval clergy and laity in a regional context Andrew W. Taubman Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of York Centre for Medieval Studies 2009 Taubman 2 Abstract This thesis examines the interactions between medieval clergy and laity, which were complex, and its findings trouble dominant models for understanding the relationships between official and popular religions. In the context of an examination of these interactions in the Humber Region Lowlands during the thirteenth and early fourteenth centuries, this thesis illustrates the roles that laity had in the construction of official and popular cultures of medieval religion. Laity and clergy often interacted with each other and each other‟s culture, with the result that both groups contributed to the construction of medieval cultures of religion. After considering general trends through an examination of pastoral texts and devotional practices, the thesis moves on to case studies of interactions at local levels as recorded in ecclesiastical administrative documents, most notably bishops‟ registers. The discussion here, among other things, includes the interactions and negotiations surrounding hermits and anchorites, the complaints of the laity, and lay roles in constructing the religious identity of nuns. The Conclusion briefly examines the implications of the complex relationships between clergy and laity highlighted in this thesis. It questions divisions between cultures of official and popular religion and ends with a short case study illustrating how clergy and laity had the potential to shape the practices and structures of both official and popular medieval religion.

    An English Account of an Arrest of a Man in Norfolk in 1405 for Spreading News of Revolt]

    1 C. 49 ‐ Parliament and Council Proceedings. 48/6 [An English account of an arrest of a man in Norfolk in 1405 for spreading news of revolt]. ‘John Payne, esq., and William Plumstead, esq., on the Monday next after Candlemass Day of the 6th year of Henry the king that now is [Monday 21 Sep. 1405], at Walsingham, met with John Kinglsey, and they asked him from whence he came, and he said that he had come out of the north country; and they asked him what things were there. He answered them, and said that there was great debate between the earl of Norfthumberland and the earl of Westmorland, and that they had fought and that the earl of Northumberland had taken the earl of Westmorland, and held him prisoner. On the morowe, the foresaid esquires asked him what tidings out of Wales, and of Owain Glyn Dwr. The said John Kingsley answered them, saying that Glyn Dwr was strong and stronger ... because he saw wages to men that would come to him ... ... The foresaid esquires arrested the foresaid John Kingsley and delivered him to John Skader and Richard Draper, constable of Little Walsingham, for to lead and bring him to the castle of Norwich, there for to tell what the lord King has ordained for his [punishment?]’ [It would be tempting to suggest that John Kingsley had been a tenant or servant of the earl Marshal or Lord Bardolf, and had fled south to their Norfolk estates after the failure of their rising in the north in August 1405.
