Immigration and the Common Profit: Native Cloth Workers, Flemish Exiles, and Royal Policy in Fourteenth-Century London

Immigration and the Common Profit: Native Cloth Workers, Flemish Exiles, and Royal Policy in Fourteenth-Century London Bart Lambert and Milan Pajic Abstract This article reconstructs a crucial episode in the relationship between the English crown, its subjects and the kingdom’s immigrant population. It links the murder of about forty Flemings in London during the Peasants’ Revolt in June 1381 to the capital’s native cloth workers’ dissatisfaction with the government’s economic im- migration policy. We argue that, in the course of the fourteenth century, the crown de- veloped a new policy aimed at attracting skilled workers from abroad. Convinced that their activities benefited the common profit of the realm, the crown remained deaf to the concerns of London’s native weavers, who claimed that the work of exiled Flemish cloth workers in the city encroached on their privileges. Confronted for more than twenty-five years with political obstruction, the native weavers increasingly resorted to physical aggression against their Flemish counterparts, which came to a dra- matic conclusion in 1381. The dissatisfaction of London’s cloth workers and the mas- sacre of the Flemings thus had much in common with the frustrations over the royal government’s policy that had been fermenting for decades among many other groups in society: all came to the surface during the Peasants’ Revolt. -

11 the Ciompi Revolt of 1378
The Ciompi Revolt of 1378: Socio-Political Constraints and Economic Demands of Workers in Renaissance Florence Alex Kitchel I. Introduction In June of 1378, political tensions between the Parte Guelpha (supporters of the Papacy) and the Ghibellines (supporters of the Holy Roman Emperor) were on the rise in Italy. These tensions stemmed from the Parte Guelpha’s use of proscriptions (either a death sentence or banishment/exile) and admonitions (denying one’s eligibility for magisterial office) to rid Ghibellines (and whomever else they wanted for whatever reasons) from participation in the government. However, the Guelphs had been unable to prevent their Ghibelline adversary, Salvestro de’ Medici, from obtaining the position of Gonfaloniere (“Standard-Bearer of Justice”), the most powerful position in the commune. By proposing an ultimately unsuccessful renewal of the anti-magnate Law of Ordinances, he was able to win the support of the popolo minuto (“little people”), who, at his bidding, ran around the city, burning and looting the houses of the Guelphs. By targeting specific families and also by allying themselves with the minor guilds, these “working poor” hoped to force negotiations for socio-economic and political reform upon the major-guildsmen. Instead, however, this forced the creation of a balìa (an oligarchic ruling committee of patricians), charged with suppressing the rioting throughout the city. With the city still high-strung, yet more rioting broke out in the following month. The few days before July 21, 1378 were shrouded in conspiracy and plotting. Fearing that the popolo minuto were holding secret meetings all throughout the city, the government arrested some of their leaders, and, under torture, these “little people” confessed to plans of creating three new guilds and eliminating forced loan policies. -
The Kingship of David II (1329-71)
View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Stirling Online Research Repository 1 The Kingship of David II (1329-71) Although he was an infant, and English sources would jibe that he soiled the coronation altar, David Bruce was the first king of Scots to receive full coronation and anointment. As such, his installation at Scone abbey on 24 November 1331 was another triumph for his father.1 The terms of the 1328 peace had stipulated that Edward III’s regime should help secure from Avignon both the lifting of Robert I’s excommunication and this parity of rite with the monarchies of England and France. David’s coronation must, then, have blended newly-borrowed traditions with established Scottish inaugural forms: it probably merged the introduction of the boy-king and the carrying of orb, sceptre and sword by the incumbents of ancient lines of earls, then unction and the taking of oaths to common law and church followed by a sermon by the new bishop of St Andrews, the recitation of royal genealogy in Gaelic and general homage, fealty and knighting of subjects alongside the king.2 Yet this display must also have been designed to reinforce the territorial claims of authority of the Bruce house in the presence of its allies and in-laws from the north, west and south-west of Scotland as well as the established Lowland political community. Finally, it was in part an impressive riposte to Edward II’s failed attempts to persuade the papacy of his claim for England’s kings to be anointed with the holy oil of Becket.3 1 Chronica Monasterii de Melsa, ed. -
Saint Bernard and Saint Catherine of Alexandria
National Gallery of Art NATIONAL GALLERY OF ART ONLINE EDITIONS Italian Paintings of the Thirteenth and Fourteenth Centuries Agnolo Gaddi Florentine, c. 1350 - 1396 Saint Bernard and Saint Catherine of Alexandria with the Virgin of the Annunciation [right panel] shortly before 1387 tempera on poplar panel overall: 194.6 × 80 cm (76 5/8 × 31 1/2 in.) Inscription: across the bottom under the saints: S. BERNARDUS DOCTOR; S. K[A]TERINA VIRGO Andrew W. Mellon Collection 1937.1.4.c ENTRY This panel is part of a triptych that consists of two laterals with paired saints (this panel and Saint Andrew and Saint Benedict with the Archangel Gabriel [left panel]) and a central panel with the Madonna and Child (Madonna and Child Enthroned with Twelve Angels, and with the Blessing Christ [middle panel]). All three panels are topped with similar triangular gables with a painted medallion in the center. The reduction of a five-part Altarpiece into a simplified format with the external profile of a triptych may have been suggested to Florentine masters as a consequence of trends that appeared towards the end of the fourteenth century: a greater simplification in composition and a revival of elements of painting from the first half of the Trecento. [1] Agnolo Gaddi followed this trend in several of his works. He demonstrates this in the three panels being discussed here by his deliberate revival of motifs that had been abandoned by most Florentine painters since the mid-fourteenth century.

Demographic, Monetary, and Political-Fiscal Factors
The Late Medieval Decline of English Demesne Agriculture: Demographic, Monetary, and Political-Fiscal Factors John Munro* uring the later fourteenth and early fifteenth centuries, a majority of English manorial landlords, lay and ecclesiastical, experienced a Dsignificant contraction of their demesne holdings: sometimes by sale or partial abandonment, but more often by leasing them to tenants. J. M. Bean states that ‘there is a general consensus that the crucial years in this process were between 1380 and 1420’, and his view is supported by a number of studies of ecclesiastical estates.1 Thus, Ambrose Raftis contends that a dramatic ‘collapse’ of the direct management of demesnes on the Ramsey Abbey estates took place during and just after the 1390s.2 Barbara Harvey, having examined the accounts of Westminster Abbey’s large number of manors in southern and central England, similarly concluded that ‘the turn of the tide may be placed around the year 1390’.3 Christopher Dyer also found, on the estates of the bishop of Worcester, that ‘the main break [the shift to leasing] came with [Bishop] Wakefield’s death in 1395’.4 In his analysis of the manors of the Archbishop of Canterbury, F. R. H. Du Boulay found that ‘by 1400 most of the demesnes, and by 1450, all of them were being leased out’.5 * John Munro is Professor Emeritus of Economics, University of Toronto. 1 Bean, ‘Landlords’, pp. 526–86. 2 Raftis, ‘Peasants and the Collapse of the Manorial Economy’, p. 196. 3 Harvey, Westminster Abbey and its Estates, p. 268. 4 Dyer, Lords and Peasants in a Changing Society, p. -
