  • Material Remains: Plantagenet Corpses, Burial Sites, and Memorials
    Material Remains: Plantagenet Corpses, Burial Sites, and Memorials Carole M. Cusack Introduction The Middle Ages was an era in which peculiar significance was placed upon dead human bodies. Granted, this was most intensely felt in cases of the ‘holy dead’, those for whom it was anticipated that after a short period of time canonisation would follow hard upon the heels of death, such as the murdered Archbishop of Canterbury, Thomas Becket (d. 1170). The prompt response of Pope Alexander III, who canonised Becket in 1173, and the rapturous embrace of the cult of Saint Thomas, seen in the pilgrimage from Southwark to Canterbury immortalised in Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales, is a particularly clear example, especially when the gruesome details of the relic-taking from the martyr’s corpse are known.1 Yet the bodies of royalty could, under certain circumstances, be revered in like fashion: a phenomenon such as the rapid growth of Gloucester Abbey (now Cathedral) as a pilgrimage site, due to the burial of Edward II in December 1327 and the lavish gifts that his son Edward III made to the church testifies to this (as does Richard II’s formal request to the Papacy that his Carole M. Cusack is a Professor of Religious Studies at the University of Sydney. Thanks are due to her research assistant Camille Dewell, who assembled the notes and images for this article during her work experience at the University of Sydney in November 2015. The research was first presented as a lecture to the Plantagenet Society of Australia meeting on 19 March 2016 at Hornsby Library.

  • The Stamford Eleanor Cross Looked Like, and There Are No Surviving Illustrations
    Queen Eleanor, wife of Edward I, died at Harby near Lincoln on 28 November 1290. Her body was embalmed at Lincoln and left there on 4 December to be taken to London for burial in Westminster Abbey on 17 December. The funeral procession rested at Stamford on the night of 5/6 December. Subsequently, at each of the overnight resting places Edward erected large memorial crosses, 12 in all, and they were to be found at Lincoln, Grantham, Stamford, Geddington, Hardingstone (Northampton), Stony Stratford, Woburn, Dunstable, St Albans, Waltham, Cheapside and Charing. Such was the fame of the crosses that it was believed until recently that the name Charing comes from chère reine, ‘dear queen’, but this is a false etymology: the name means simply ‘a turning in the river or road’ and dates from the 10th century. Only the crosses at Geddington, Hardingstone and Waltham survive today. The Eleanor Cross at Geddington. The series of Eleanor crosses is unique in medieval England and it has often been asked ‘why were they built?’ Edward’s and Eleanor’s devotion to each other is legendary and is typified by the (probably spurious) story of Eleanor sucking poison out of her husband’s wound after an assassination attempt. The Eleanor Cross at The Eleanor Cross Hardingstone, Northampton. at Waltham. What is more definitely known is that from her marriage in 1254, Eleanor was rarely away from her husband’s side, even going on crusade with him in 1270-1272. This lifestyle is rare enough in a medieval royal household to be worthy of note.
