  • A Welsh Classical Dictionary
    A WELSH CLASSICAL DICTIONARY DACHUN, saint of Bodmin. See s.n. Credan. He has been wrongly identified with an Irish saint Dagan in LBS II.281, 285. G.H.Doble seems to have been misled in the same way (The Saints of Cornwall, IV. 156). DAGAN or DANOG, abbot of Llancarfan. He appears as Danoc in one of the ‘Llancarfan Charters’ appended to the Life of St.Cadog (§62 in VSB p.130). Here he is a clerical witness with Sulien (presumably abbot) and king Morgan [ab Athrwys]. He appears as abbot of Llancarfan in five charters in the Book of Llandaf, where he is called Danoc abbas Carbani Uallis (BLD 179c), and Dagan(us) abbas Carbani Uallis (BLD 158, 175, 186b, 195). In these five charters he is contemporary with bishop Berthwyn and Ithel ap Morgan, king of Glywysing. He succeeded Sulien as abbot and was succeeded by Paul. See Trans.Cym., 1948 pp.291-2, (but ignore the dates), and compare Wendy Davies, LlCh p.55 where Danog and Dagan are distinguished. Wendy Davies dates the BLD charters c.A.D.722 to 740 (ibid., pp.102 - 114). DALLDAF ail CUNIN COF. (Legendary). He is included in the tale of ‘Culhwch and Olwen’ as one of the warriors of Arthur's Court: Dalldaf eil Kimin Cof (WM 460, RM 106). In a triad (TYP no.73) he is called Dalldaf eil Cunyn Cof, one of the ‘Three Peers’ of Arthur's Court. In another triad (TYP no.41) we are told that Fferlas (Grey Fetlock), the horse of Dalldaf eil Cunin Cof, was one of the ‘Three Lovers' Horses’ (or perhaps ‘Beloved Horses’).

  • The Purpose of This Thesis Is to Trace Lady Katherine Grey's Family from Princess Mary Tudor to Algernon Seymour a Threefold A
    ABSTRACT THE FAMILY OF LADY KATHERINE GREY 1509-1750 by Nancy Louise Ferrand The purpose of this thesis is to trace Lady Katherine Grey‘s family from Princess Mary Tudor to Algernon Seymour and to discuss aspects of their relationship toward the hereditary descent of the English crown. A threefold approach was employed: an examination of their personalities and careers, an investigation of their relationship to the succession problem. and an attempt to draw those elements together and to evaluate their importance in regard to the succession of the crown. The State Papers. chronicles. diaries, and the foreign correspondence of ambassadors constituted the most important sources drawn upon in this study. The study revealed that. according to English tradition, no woman from the royal family could marry a foreign prince and expect her descendants to claim the crown. Henry VIII realized this point when he excluded his sister Margaret from his will, as she had married James IV of Scotland and the Earl of Angus. At the same time he designated that the children of his younger sister Mary Nancy Louise Ferrand should inherit the crown if he left no heirs. Thus, legally had there been strong sentiment expressed for any of Katherine Grey's sons or descendants, they, instead of the Stuarts. could possibly have become Kings of England upon the basis of Henry VIII's and Edward VI's wills. That they were English rather than Scotch also enhanced their claims.

  • Spying in the Promised Land: Sacramental Sights Through Women's Eyes
    CTSA Proceedings 67 / 2012 SPYING IN THE PROMISED LAND: SACRAMENTAL SIGHTS THROUGH WOMEN’S EYES TERESA BERGER INTRODUCTION∗ ith the title of this essay, I harken back to the biblical story of the spies sent to explore the Promised Land, a land reportedly of milk and honey.1 While two spies returned W with grapes, pomegranates, and figs, the others brought back tales of terror, leading the people of Israel to wonder about this land. The biblical narrative has rich resonances in liturgical history,2 yet as my guiding motif here, I focus on the spies’ divergent reports of the land they saw. I also imagine these spies to be women. What do women see when looking into the promised land of sacramental life? 3 What did they witness fifty years ago? What do they note today? What might they glimpse of the future? The task of sketching answers to these questions—especially with a view to the worldwide church—is overwhelming. To begin with, there are more than 600 million Roman Catholic women around the globe today. Often, they form the majority of the liturgical assembly in local parishes; yet as theologians in North America, we are able to hear these women’s voices only through multiple mediations.4 Furthermore, Roman Catholic women worldwide have as many different experiences and visions of sacramental life as there are individual women. The simple fact of having two X chromosomes does not suffice to establish globally shared “women’s experiences.” ∗ I dedicate this essay to the memory of my friend Kazuyo HiRose (d.

  • 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.

  • Response to Prof. Mary Grey from Sr. Ann Teresa Herritty
    It has been little more than a year since RENATE began its preparation for the European conference for Religious against trafficking. The goal of the conference was to meet, interact with and learn from experiences of Religious engaged in counter-trafficking work, across Europe. Individual religious willing to become involved in this ministry were also welcome. The limited number of places was allocated in such a way as to ensure participation from Eastern, Central and Western Europe, and from as many countries as possible. The working language of the Conference was English. After the participant list was closed, RENATE arranged translation from English into Polish, Italian and Albanian along with whisper translations in French, German and Portuguese. The Salvatorian Centre of Spiritual Formation in Trzebinia (near Cracow) in Poland was chosen as the venue. The Conference took place from September 4th - 9th 2011.
