  • Charters: What Survives?
    Banner 4-final.qxp_Layout 1 01/11/2016 09:29 Page 1 Charters: what survives? Charters are our main source for twelh- and thirteenth-century Scotland. Most surviving charters were written for monasteries, which had many properties and privileges and gained considerable expertise in preserving their charters. However, many collections were lost when monasteries declined aer the Reformation (1560) and their lands passed to lay lords. Only 27% of Scottish charters from 1100–1250 survive as original single sheets of parchment; even fewer still have their seal attached. e remaining 73% exist only as later copies. Survival of charter collectionS (relating to 1100–1250) GEOGRAPHICAL SPREAD from inStitutionS founded by 1250 Our picture of documents in this period is geographically distorted. Some regions have no institutions with surviving charter collections, even as copies (like Galloway).

The Eucharist became one of the most controversial intellectual topics of the High Middle Ages. While medieval historians and religious scholars have long recognized that the twelfth century was a critical period in which many eucharistic doctrines were debated and affirmed, literary scholars have given very little attention to the concurrent emergence of eucharistic themes in twelfth-century literature.

  • Constitutions of Clarendon, Clause 3, and Henry Ii's Reforms of Law And
    CONSTITUTIONS OF CLARENDON, CLAUSE 3, AND HENRY II’s REFORMS OF LAW AND ADMINISTRATION John Hudson The conflict between Henry II and Archbishop Thomas Becket over crim- inal clerks inspired comment from many writers at the time and from numerous historians since. Many have been interested in the relative strength of the parties’ arguments, their basis in Canon Law and in earlier practice.1 My purpose is more modest: I assess the relationship between clause 3 of the 1164 Constitutions of Clarendon, often referred to as the provision concerning criminal clerks, and the practices and reform of the administration of justice in the 1160s. I argue that a key purpose of the provision was to bring at least important cases of clerical crime not just to lay courts but specifically to the king’s court, and suggest that the measure placed particular reliance on the king’s chief justiciars. I will take particular care to distinguish the limited amount of strictly contemporary evidence from the larger amount produced after 1170, par- ticularly the Lives of the now martyred archbishop. The latter do not record 1 The starting point here must be Frederic William Maitland, Roman Canon Law in the Church of England (London, 1898), chapter 4 (‘Henry II and the criminous clerks’), who argued for the strength of the king’s position in terms of Canon Law. For a good recent summary of the issues, see Anne Duggan, Thomas Becket (London, 2004), pp. 48–58, who concludes (p. 55) that ‘Becket and the bishops were in line with current thinking about clerical immunity’ and (p.

  • Page 491 H-France Review Vol. 2 (November 2002), No. 122
    H-France Review Volume 2 (2002) Page 491 H-France Review Vol. 2 (November 2002), No. 122 Response to Bruce Venarde’s review of Constance Berman, The Cistercian Evolution: The Invention of a Religious Order in Twelfth-Century Europe. By Constance Berman, University of Iowa. Venarde opens his discussion of The Cistercian Evolution with a careful summary of its findings on how, when, and how much the Cistercians contributed to that process of institution-building in the twelfth century that I have called the “Invention of a Religious Order.” He seems to understand that although I do not question traditional assertions that the Cistercians invented this new institution, mine is nonetheless a very different picture of the Cistercians from standard ones to date. As I show, the process of inventing the new institution was slower than traditionally thought, involving trial and error, and probably borrowing innovations from other twelfth-century groups. I thus deny the precocity and exclusivity of the Cistercians in creating the religious Order, suggesting that it dates to considerably later in the twelfth century than the year 1120. Venarde is correct that this is not the long-awaited book on Cistercian nuns. Writing The Cistercian Evolution intervened in my work on religious women. As I began to investigate the early history of Cistercian nuns, I found more and more discrepancies between traditional Cistercian narratives and the evidence I was collecting: on Cistercian women, on southern-French affiliations of houses by the Cistercians, on the types of land that Cistercians accumulated. I found myself dismantling a traditional model of twelfth-century monastic history that appropriated for the Cistercians a very early creation of the religious Order as a new institution and at the same time denied that women were part of that reform movement.

  • A Chinese-Drawn World Map Depicts Europe Between 1157 and 1166, and Reveals Sino-Europe Maritime Routes Already Existing in the Millennia Before Christ
    1 A Chinese-drawn world map depicts Europe between 1157 and 1166, and reveals Sino-Europe maritime routes already existing in the millennia before Christ By Sheng-Wei Wang* 28 May 2021 Abstract This paper reports that a Chinese-based world map ‒ the Kunyu Wanguo Quantu《坤舆 万国全图》or Complete Geographical Map of All the Kingdoms of the World published by Matteo Ricci in 1602 in China ‒ depicts Europe in the period between 1157 and 1166, during the Southern Song Dynasty (南宋; 1127-1279), and that a network of trade routes ‒ the Maritime Silk Road routes connecting China and Europe ‒ existed already before Christ. The findings are based on: 1) a comparison of key geographical features in the European portion of the Kunyu Wanguo Quantu with major European and Arabic maps from antiquity to the late sixteenth century; 2) a comprehensive examination of the geographical and historical information of each named European kingdom, principality, duchy, republic, state, confederation, province, county, region, autonomous or semi- autonomous region, city/town, peninsula, island, ocean, sea, lake and river depicted on the Kunyu Wanguo Quantu; 3) a historical record of China-Byzantine interactions during the rule of the Emperor Shenzong (神宗; 1048-1085) of the Northern Song Dynasty (北 宋; 960-1127); 4) archaeological findings from the “Nanhai One (南海一号)” shipwreck dated around the 1160s of the Southern Song Dynasty and discovered in the South China Sea in 1987; and 5) the latest archaeological surveys made by T.

  • Sword Pommels of Transitional Types from the Time of Social Transformation in 12Th-Century Wrocław, Poland
    FASCICULI ARCHAEOLOGIAE HISTORICAE FASC. XXXIII, PL ISSN 0860-0007 DOI 10.23858/FAH33.2020.003 LECH MAREK* SWORD POMMELS OF TRANSITIONAL TYPES FROM THE TIME OF SOCIAL TRANSFORMATION IN 12TH-CENTURY WROCŁAW, POLAND Abstract: This paper presents a discussion of sword pommels found during archaeological excavations in the Old Town of Wrocław. The area under investigation, located on the left bank of the Odra River, is where the chartered town had developed a characteristic organised layout in the 13th century. Finds from the High Middle Ages, and among them, the analysed pommels, testify to an earlier settlement in this region. The pommels were excavated from the earliest strata related to this initial settlement phase. They represent forms of Oakeshott’s types B and E (Geibig’s types 15 and 19 respectively) which could be dated to the 12th century.

She was incapable of exercising it. – Georges Duby, “Women and Power” With this statement, Georges Duby renders the medieval woman “powerless” to participate in any sort of governance in the Middle Ages. He and other scholars have perpetuated the idea that women who held landed titles in the Middle Ages relegated all power of that title to their husbands, including queens. Scholars have commonly assumed that the king, not the queen, was the only party able to wield significant authority in the governance of the country, and that men dominated the role of the queen in the political sphere. It is difficult to imagine how Duby and others reached his harsh conclusion about women and power in the Middle Ages once the ruling relationships between the kings and queens of twelfth-century England are examined.
