  • The Cistercian Abbey of Coupar Angus, C.1164-C.1560
    1 The Cistercian Abbey of Coupar Angus, c.1164-c.1560 Victoria Anne Hodgson University of Stirling Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy August 2016 2 3 Abstract This thesis is an examination of the Cistercian abbey of Coupar Angus, c.1164-c.1560, and its place within Scottish society. The subject of medieval monasticism in Scotland has received limited scholarly attention and Coupar itself has been almost completely overlooked, despite the fact that the abbey possesses one of the best sets of surviving sources of any Scottish religious house. Moreover, in recent years, long-held assumptions about the Cistercian Order have been challenged and the validity of Order-wide generalisations disputed. Historians have therefore highlighted the importance of dedicated studies of individual houses and the need to incorporate the experience of abbeys on the European ‘periphery’ into the overall narrative. This thesis considers the history of Coupar in terms of three broadly thematic areas. The first chapter focuses on the nature of the abbey’s landholding and prosecution of resources, as well as the monks’ burghal presence and involvement in trade. The second investigates the ways in which the house interacted with wider society outside of its role as landowner, particularly within the context of lay piety, patronage and its intercessory function. The final chapter is concerned with a more strictly ecclesiastical setting and is divided into two parts. The first considers the abbey within the configuration of the Scottish secular church with regards to parishes, churches and chapels. The second investigates the strength of Cistercian networks, both domestic and international.

    The Chronicle of Melrose Abbey A STRATIGRAPHIC EDITION I. Introduction and Facsimile DAUVIT BROUN JULIAN HARRISON Scottish History Society 2007 fcs. SH/ SCOTTISH HISTORY SOCIETY SIXTH SERIES VOLUME I The Chronicle of Melrose Abbey A Stratigraphic Edition Volume I Introduction and Facsimile Edition The Chronicle of Melrose Abbey is the principal source for Scottish history in the late twelfth and thirteenth centuries; it is also a remark- able survival of a chronicle-manuscript that grew for over a century. It is thus of great importance to historians and palaeographers alike. This new edition is accompanied by a detailed introduction, offering a full account of scribes; a collation of the manuscript; a discussion of the manuscripts evolution and binding-history in the light of its disbinding in 2005-d; a new ‘stratigraphic’ approach to the chronicle’s development; and a full account of the manuscript’s history. There is also a discussion of Cistercian chronicling in the British Isles. Of particular interest is the recognition that the manu- script comprised part of British Library MS Cotton Julius B. XIII as well as Cotton Faustina B. IX, shedding new light on the nature of the original codex and its date. The book is accompanied by a DVD containing digitised images of the whole manuscript. Dr Dauvit Broun is a senior lecturer in Scottish History at the University of Glasgow Julian Harrison is a Research Fellow in Scottish History at the University of Glasgow and is attached to the Department of Western Manuscripts at the British Library SCOTTISH CHRONICLES PROJECT This is the first of a number of volumes on Scottish chronicles which will appear occasionally as part of the main series of annual volumes published by the Scottish History Society.

  • Medieval Buildings and Secular Lordship
    MEDIEVAL BUILDINGS AND SECULAR WRDSHIP Geoffrey Stell PATRONAGE, CONTINUITY AND CHANGE In Galloway, as elsewhere, the nature and chronology of lay patronage can be measured directly by secular structures, and indirectly by churches and Christian monuments. Here also a number of these buildings and monuments can be seen to represent different facets of the power and wealth of a single family, kindred or corporation. But in Galloway, the indirect evidence provided by church archaeology and architecture is especially vital because of the comparative lack of documentary records relating to the Galloway monasteries. Another special characteristic of Galloway is that old habits evidently died hard. The long survival or adaptation of sites, building traditions, . .. Fig.9.1 Motle of Urr; aerial view. (Crown Copyrighl, RCAHMS) 145 and styles among it medieval monuments show that a strong degree of continuity has underlain even the most dramatic upheavals in Galwegian society. When, and in what form, new beginnings manifested themselves within this society is thus a matter of special interest. 1 SECULAR STRUCTURES The beginnings of feudalism in Dumfries and Galloway in the twelfth century appear to mark a new departure in the outward physical form of lordship, the matte and bailey castle. At the latest count almost one quarter of known mottes in Scotland, seventy-four out of three hundred and seventeen, are to be found in the south- west. Many of those in Galloway probably originated in the military campaigns of Malcolm IV, only to be 'destroyed' in the rebellion of 1174. A second phase of matte-building was promoted after 1185 by Roland, lord of Galloway, who ruthlessly reunified the divided lordship.

  • V ABSTRACT the LAST ABBEY
    ABSTRACT THE LAST ABBEY: CROSSRAGUEL ABBEY AND THE SCOTTISH REFORMATION by Kristin O’Neill Osborne Crossraguel Abbey, located in rural southwest Scotland, was one of the last remaining monasteries following the Reformation. Its story of survival past years of religious turmoil reveals a nuanced and complicated reaction to the Scottish Reformation, which stemmed from noble protection and devout faith in Catholicism. The community benefited from a very close relationship with the Kennedy family, who were the Earls of Cassillis and wealthy landowners. This community still possessed spiritual and financial power in their region despite years of monastic degradation across Scotland. This influence afforded them the privilege to work closely with the Kennedys to ensure their survival. It was the Kennedy family’s protection that enabled the abbot, Quintin Kennedy, to mount a resistance to Protestantism beginning in 1558. This resistance came through publications and debates launched by the abbot and later through a continuation of Catholic traditions by the monks. The intrinsic interest in Catholicism that existed throughout the community confirms that the Reformation was a slow and often messy process. This thesis shows how a Catholic community relied on lay protection, resisted the reformed religion, and reacted to the end of a long tradition whilst securing its place in an increasingly Protestant landscape. v THE LAST ABBEY: CROSSRGAUEL ABBEY AND THE SCOTTISH REFORMATION A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of Miami University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts by Kristin O’Neill Osborne Miami University Oxford, Ohio 2020 Advisor: Dr. P.
