The work deals with nearly seventy nominees and follows the chronological order of episcopal elections, or attempted promotions in the period. Generally, no effort has been made to highlight the contacts that may have existed between the king and a particular aspirant, after his acceptance or rejection by the principal authorities. The historiographical chapter of the thesis argues that the negative assessment given by most English writers on the reign of Henry III has been intimately connected not only to a modern nationalistic bias, but also to the growing nationalistic prejudice of the thirteenth century monastic chroniclers. In line with the general position of the crown - which, on the whole, affected the type of men that would be advanced to diocesan duties - the period of 1226-72 was marked by various phases. While in the years of 1226-35 Henry’s attempts to influence the composition of the episcopate remained moderate, the situation was quite the opposite in 1236-58. The change was partly effected by the king’s establishment of stronger Continental ties following his marriage in 1236. The conservative years, hallmarked by the advancement of a relatively large number of courtiers to the episcopacy, came to an end with the beginning of the baronial reform movement in 1258. For the next seven years Henry was essentially powerless to influence episcopal promotions. Royal consolidation after 1265 implied that in the remaining years of Henry’s reign only men of tested loyalty would gain episcopal or archiépiscopal rank. The thesis concludes that Henry Ill’s ecclesiastical policy in respect of episcopal candidates served foreign policy objectives, and that, in the context of the age, such an approach was a realistic one. In an attempt to rebuild the Continental empire, following the loss of territories by king John, Henry III came to rely on his Savoyard and Poitevin relatives as allies, on a broader European diplomatic and political stage. That Henry III failed in his final objective was essentially the outcome of deep-seated socio-political trends ultimately favouring the emergence of national monarchies. Nevertheless, the king’s ecclesiastical policy - since it successfully upheld the tradition of courtier-bishops - left an important and positive legacy for the future Edward I and to the English monarchy on the whole. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS To Professor Ian Jack, of the University of Sydney, I dedicate this thesis in grateful recognition of his wise guidance since the beginning of my post-graduate work in 1989. The greatest debt, however, is to my parents and to my wife, Tiinde, without whom this thesis could never have been written. The University of Sydney • R.B.

The thesis deals with nearly seventy nominees and follows the chronological order of episcopal elections, or attempted promotions in the period. Generally, no effort has been made to highlight the contacts that may have existed between the king and a particular aspirant after his acceptance or rejection by the principal authorities. Henry Ill’s attitude towards the candidates was largely determined by his earlier links with them, and it formed a vital component of royal ecclesiastical policy that has never before been studied as a coherent whole, and has thus been given its first full, modern treatment. The historiographical chapter of the thesis argues that the negative assessment given by most English writers on the reign of Henry III has been intimately connected not only to a modern nationalistic bias, but also to the growing nationalistic prejudice of the thirteenth century monastic chroniclers. From a broader, ‘transnational’ perspective, however, Henry Ill’s reign can be reassessed in a more balanced way. The king’s ecclesiastical policy in respect of episcopal candidates had followed a strict logic; it had served foreign policy objectives, and in the context of the age, such an approach was a realistic one. In an attempt to rebuild the Continental empire, following the loss of territories by king John, Henry III came to rely on his Savoyard and Poitevin relatives as allies, on a broader European diplomatic and political stage. Yet the royal efforts to appoint ‘foreign’ men to the English episcopacy, were, on the whole, quite moderate. The king’s attitude towards the candidates was also shaped by the fact that each bishopric had its own relative ‘value’ in terms of financial resources, strategic or geographical position, size, etc. 11 That Henry III failed in his final objective was essentially the outcome of deep- seated socio-political trends ultimately favouring the emergence of national monarchies. Seen in this light, one of the most important legacies of Henry Ill’s ecclesiastical policy for the future Edward I was that despite the various political troubles of the era, the tradition of courtier-bishops - whose general support of the crown was necessary, if England was to remain a viable European power - became more entrenched with time. In line with the general position of the crown - which, on the whole, affected the type of men that would be advanced to diocesan duties - the period of 1226-72 was marked by four distinct phases. While in the years of 1226-35, Henry’s attempts to influence the composition of the episcopate remained very moderate, reflecting yet the uncertainties of the times after the long minority, the situation was quite the opposite in 1236-58. The change was partly brought about by the appearance of the king’s general confidence, a factor which itself was connected to Henry’s marriage in 1236 and a much stronger establishment of Continental ties. Not surprisingly, in the period of 1236-45 the king made, perhaps, his most strenuous efforts - which are treated in a separate chapter - to shape the episcopal body according to the crown’s interests. The conservative years, hallmarked by the advancement of a relatively large number of courtiers to the episcopacy, came to an end with the beginning of the baronial reform movement in 1258. For the next seven years Henry was effectively powerless to have his say in episcopal promotions. But naturally, royal consolidation after the battle of Evesham implied that in the remaining years of Henry’s reign only men of tested loyalty, i.e. mostly courtiers, would gain episcopal or archiepiscopal rank. Attempt has also been made in the work to pinpoint those non-political factors that appear to have played a role in the elevation or rejection of a particular nominee. The study principally rests upon the court records of Henry III, and it is assumed that the king had an overall familiarity with those matters and names that are contained in these sources. For the exact date of various events, the thesis mostly relies Ill on the third, 1986 edition o f the Handbook of British Chronology, even when it might not be specifically indicated by a footnote.

It incorporates comparable data from the reigns of Edward VI, Mary I, and the Elizabeth I. Much of the analysis is quantitative in nature: chapters compare the appointments of justices of the peace during the reigns of Edward VI, Mary I, and Elizabeth I, and reveal that purges of the commissions of the peace were far more common than is generally believed. Furthermore, purges appear to have been religiously- based, especially during the reign of Elizabeth I. There is a gap in the quantitative data beginning in 1569, only eleven years into Elizabeth I’s reign, which continues until 1584. In an effort to compensate for the loss of quantitative data, this dissertation analyzes a different primary source, William Lambarde’s guidebook for JPs, Eirenarcha. The fourth chapter makes particular use of Eirenarcha, exploring required duties both in and out of session, what technical and personal qualities were expected of JPs, and how well they lived up to them.

  • TAUNTON PRIORY in Saxon Times There Was a College of Secular Priests at Taunton (‘Secular’ Meaning Non-Monastic)
    LIONEL GREEN looks at a daughter house of Merton Priory:- TAUNTON PRIORY In Saxon times there was a college of secular priests at Taunton (‘secular’ meaning non-monastic). The discovery, in the 1970s, of 9th-century Saxon burials suggests that the original foundation was in the Castle Green area of Taunton. In 904 several estates with chapels around Taunton passed to the bishop of Winchester. There is reference to the monasterium, suggesting a minster with dependent chapels. The dead of surrounding vills were brought, sometimes miles, to the college graveyard, and fees had to be paid to the secular priests. The priests were known as prebendaries, as they were supported by ‘prebends’, i.e. fixed income from church property. The Geld Inquest of 1084 shows that the priests held 2¼ hides (about 150 acres) of land. When William Giffard became bishop of Winchester in 1107 he fortified his residence at Taunton1 so that the precinct moat enclosed the Great Hall2 and the castle motte, as well as the college. The bishop was familiar with the introduction of the Augustinian order into England, being personally involved with the foundation of Merton and Southwark monasteries near London. He wished the existing secular priests at Taunton to follow the new Rule, having observed how the canons of Merton were “sublimely aspiring to perfection” after only three years. He therefore requested some canons of Merton to “introduce into his church of Taunton those same observances which they themselves employed.”3 Five brethren set off from Merton in 1120 “amongst whom was that Master Guy who with good reason was the most famous amongst us”.4 The canons followed the Augustinian Rule at Taunton, and a few “who had been there, began to adopt the way of life according to the rule but certain [secular priests] had no wish to change their firmly rooted bad habits”.

If citing, you are advised to consult the published version for pagination, volume/issue and date of publication 1 Liturgy as History: The Origins of the Exeter Martyrology Sarah Hamilton, University of Exeter Abstract Through an Anglo-Norman case study, this article highlights the value of normative liturgical material for scholars interested in the role which saints’ cults played in the history and identity of religious communities. The records of Anglo-Saxon cults are largely the work of Anglo-Norman monks. Historians exploring why this was the case have therefore concentrated upon hagiographical texts about individual Anglo-Saxon saints composed in and for monastic communities in the post-Conquest period. This article shifts the focus away from the monastic to those secular clerical communities which did not commission specific accounts, and away from individual cults, to uncover the potential of historical martyrologies for showing how such secular communities remembered and understood their own past through the cult of saints. Exeter Cathedral Library, Ms 3518, is a copy of the martyrology by the ninth-century Frankish monk, Usuard of Saint-Germain-des-Prés , written in and for Exeter cathedral’s canons in the mid-twelfth century.
