Henelawe as Bishop of the See of St David’s. Although Walter Map maintains that Henry “was distinguished by five years before, the canons of St David’s had elected him many good traits and blemished by some few faults.”4 their choice for Bishop, and although he had pushed his Similarly, Newburgh characterizes Henry as being claim vigorously with two kings and a pope, Gerald of “endowed with many virtues […] and yet he was addicted Wales accepted the decision quietly.

  • Programme 3 the Norman Conquest of Pembrokeshire
    PROGRAMME 3 THE NORMAN CONQUEST OF PEMBROKESHIRE Introduction. We’re walking through Pembrokeshire and Britain’s only coastal national park to discover how a group of French-speaking warriors turned this corner of Wales into a place still known as ‘Little England beyond Wales’. Home to miles of rugged coast line, beautiful beaches and incredible wildlife, it’s a landscape and culture heavily shaped by the Normans. Unlike the knockout victory of Hastings, this conquest was a long, fiercely fought struggle. Over time the Normans turned a Welsh speaking Kingdom into an English speaking shire dominated by castles, churches and the amazing cathedral in the city of St Davids. .Walking Through History Day 1 . From St Davids, we’ll make our way along the coastal cliffs, learning about the Norman’s first meetings with the native Welsh. We’ll start by walking in the footsteps of England’s greatest warrior king – William the Conqueror. St Davids to Newgale via Pembrokeshire Coastal Path Distance: 10 miles Day 2 . Heading inland, we’re walking the rough frontier the Norman’s fought to create with the rest of Wales. We’ll trace this boundary – or Landsker Line – that formed as Normans and Flemings flooded in, past early defences at Hayscastle and Wolfcastle. Climbing Great Treffgarne Mountain gives the perfect look out over the landscape facing the invaders. Finally we head south-west, to discover how the native Welsh fought back as I reach Wiston. Newgale to Wiston via Hayscastle, Wolfcastle and Great Treffgarne Mountain Distance: 20 miles Day 3 . The River Cleddau is our guide on Day 3, as we find out how a stunning welsh princess seduced Normans, Welsh and English alike.

  • IRELAND C.980-1229 Máire Ní Mhaonaigh
    PERCEPTION AND REALITY: IRELAND c.980-1229 Máire Ní Mhaonaigh Hi Kalaind Auguist cen ail tiagtís ind cech tress blíadain; agtís secht ngraifne im gním nglé secht laithe na sechtmaine. And luaitís fri bága bil certa ocus cána in cóicid, cech recht ríagla co rogor cech tress blíadna a chórogod. ‘On the kalends of August free from reproach they would go thither every third year: they would hold seven races, for a glorious object, seven days in the week. There they would discuss with strife of speech the dues and tributes of the province, every legal enactment right piously every third year it was settled.’1 This eleventh-century depiction of a gathering (óenach) held at regular intervals at Carmain provides an imagined glimpse of medieval Ireland at work and play. Conventionally but misleadingly translated ‘fair’, the óenach was an institution in which the wider community played a part. Among those said to have been assembled on this particular occasion were ‘the clerics and laity of the Leinstermen, as well as the wives of the nobility’ (clérig, láeich Lagen ille, mnái na ndagfher). Fasting was undertaken there ‘against wrong and oppression’ (ra 1 Metrical Dindshenchas, iii, 18-19 (lines 208-16). I am grateful to my colleague, Dr Fiona Edmonds, for perceptive comments on what follows. 1 anrecht, ra écomlund).2 Misconduct was forbidden;3 knowledge was imparted of various kinds.4 Kings controlled these occasions, convening an óenach for a variety of reasons. It was to celebrate his accession to the kingship of Leinster that the óenach at Carmain was held by Donnchad mac Gilla Phátraic in 1033 and this poem may mark that specific event.5 Máel Sechnaill mac Domnaill, king of Mide, had earlier hosted a similar assembly at Tailtiu [Teltown, County Meath] in 1007, when he had already been ruling for more than a quarter of a century and had achieved considerable success.6 His revival of óenach Tailten was designed to bolster his authority further, and it too was commemorated in a composition attributed to Máel Sechnaill’s court-poet, Cúán ua Lothcháin.

    “Marshal towers” in South-West Wales: Innovation, Emulation and Mimicry “Marshal towers” in South-West Wales: Innovation, Emulation and Mimicry John Wiles THE CASTLE STUDIES GROUP JOURNAL NO 27: 2013-14 181 “Marshal towers” in South-West Wales: Innovation, Emulation and Mimicry Historical context Earl William the Marshal (d. 1219) was the very flower of knighthood and England’s mightiest vassal.4 He had married the de Clare heiress in 1189 gaining vast estates that included Netherwent, with Chepstow and Usk castles, as well as the great Irish lordship of Leinster. He was granted Pembroke and the earldom that went with it at King John’s acces- sion in 1199, probably gaining possession on his first visit to his Irish lands in 1200/01.5 Although effec- tively exiled or retired to Ireland between 1207 and 1211 (Crouch, 2002, 101-115), the Marshal consoli- dated and expanded his position in south-west Wales, acquiring Cilgerran by conquest (1204) and Haver- fordwest by grant (1213), as well as gaining custody of Cardigan, Carmarthen and Gower (1214). In 1215, however, whilst the Marshal, soon to be regent, was taken up with the wars in England, a winter campaign led by Llywelyn ap Iorwerth of Gwynedd ushered in a Welsh resurgence, so that at the Marshal’s death all save the Pembroke lordship, with Haverfordwest, had been lost. Llywelyn, who had been granted cus- tody of Cardigan and Carmarthen in 1218, returned to devastate the region in 1220, again destroying many of its castles.6 Fig 1.

  • The First Ancestor to Immigrate to England Was Otho Geraldium, Duke
    The Garretts – Before America Page 11 Life in Windsor, Pembroke or Carew Castles Gerald of Windsor and Pembroke, his wife and several generations of sons lived in various castles in or near Wales. The castles were originally made of timber (there was a lot of timber at the time) and later rebuilt in stone. Of course, all of the pictures available are of the stone castles. The next few paragraphs describe the layout of the original castles and life within them. Within the curtain walls of the castle, the living quarters invariably had one basic element, the hall. A large one-room structure with a loft ceiling, the hall was sometimes on the ground floor, but often, it was raised to the second story for greater security. Early halls were aisled like a church, with rows of wooden posts or stone pillars supporting the timber roof. Windows were equipped with wooden shutters secured by an iron bar and in the 11th and 12th centuries they were rarely glazed. By the 13th century a king or great baron might have "white (greenish) glass" in some of his windows, and by the 14th century glazed windows were common. In a ground-floor hall the floor was beaten earth, stone or plaster; when the hall was elevated to the upper story the floor was nearly always timber, supported by a row of wooden pillars in the basement below. Carpets, although used on walls, tables, and benches, were not used as floor coverings until the 14th century. Floors were strewn with rushes. The rushes were replaced at intervals and the floor swept, but often under them lay "an ancient collection of beer, grease, fragments, bones, spittle, excrement of dogs and cats and everything that is nasty." The Garretts – Before America Page 12 Entrance to the hall was usually in a side wall near the lower end.

Even the subversive force of Fluellen’s unfavorable comparison of Henry to Alexander the Great is humorously undercut by the Welshman’s insis- tence on the Hellenistic conqueror’s epithet: the “pig.” See Shakespeare, Henry V , IV: vii; David Quint, “ ‘Alexander the Pig’: Shakespeare on History and Poetry,” boundary 2 10 (1982): 49–67, and esp. 60, shows persuasively how Fluellen’s attempts at historical analysis and panegyric undercut themselves, rendering him ludicrous.

Predominantly antiquarian and mythic approaches were replaced, in intellectual circles at least, with narrative syntheses based on credible sources. This change was part of the rise of source- based and narrative forms of national history- writing across Europe.1 The result in England was a confidently Whiggish and constitutionally focused historiography that reduced Welsh history to what Keith Robbins calls ‘little more than a perpetual footnote in accounts of the history of the English state’.2 Welsh historians in the period responded to this discourse in a variety of ways, but even those who disputed its message nonetheless borrowed extensively from its assumptions.

  • A Scholar and His Saints. Examining the Art of Hagiographical Writing of Gerald of Wales
    UNIVERSITY The life of Giraldus Cambrensis / Gerald of Wales (c.1146 – c.1223) represents many PRESS facets of the Middle Ages: he was raised in a frontier society, he was educated in Paris, he worked for the kings of England and he unsuccessfully tried to climb the ecclesiastical ladder. He travelled widely, he met many high-ranking persons, and he wrote books in which he included more than one (amusing) anecdote about many persons. Up to this day, scholars have devoted a different degree of attention to Giraldus’ works: his ethnographical and historiographical works have been studied thoroughly, whereas his hagiographical writing has been left largely unexamined. This observation is quite surprising, because Giraldus’ talent as a hagiographer has been acknowledged long ago. Scholars have already examined Giraldus’ saints’ lives independently, but an interpretation of his whole hagiographical œuvre is still a desideratum. This thesis proposed to fill this gap by following two major research questions. First of all, this thesis examined the particular way in which Giraldus depicted each saint. Furthermore, it explained why Giraldus chose / preferred a certain depiction of a FAU Studien aus der Philosophischen Fakultät 17 particular saint. Overall, an examination of the hagiographical art of writing of Giraldus Cambrensis offered insight into the way hagiography was considered by authors and commissioners and how this art was practiced during the twelfth and thirteenth century.
