OR, FOUR MEN IN A BATEAU (213 pp.) Director of Dissertation: Natasha Levinson, Ph. D. Dozens of academic studies over the course of the past four or five decades have shown empirically that Catholic schools, according to a wide array of standards and measures, are the best schools at producing good American citizens. This dissertation proposes that this is so is partly because the schools are infused with the Catholic ethos (also called the Catholic Imagination or the Analogical Imagination) and its approach to the world in general. A large part of this ethos is based upon Catholic Anthropology, the Church’s teaching about the nature of the human person and his or her relationship to other people, to Society, to the State, and to God.

  • The Exploits of Two Dorset Knights at the Battle of Lewes and on the Fine Roll
    THE EXPLOITS OF TWO DORSET KNIGHTS AT THE BATTLE OF LEWES AND ON THE FINE ROLL By Huw Ridgeway [January 2012] It is always interesting to have independent confirmation of those who were present at the Battle of Lewes, May 14th 1264. The Chroniclers tend to be interested only in the great and good, the earls and barons. But what information can be gleaned about lesser men who participated in this historic battle, the knights? The Fine Roll for 1263-4 provides us with just that. On 21st July it records an extraordinary grant: two Dorset knights, Robert Fitz Payn and William de Goviz, were excused payment of relief as two-thirds co-heirs of the Dorset Baron Alfred (IV) of Lincoln ‘pro laudabili servicio que Regi impenderunt et pro dampnis que sustinuerunt in servicio Regis apud Lewes in conflictu ibidem’ ( for the praiseworthy service which they rendered to the king, and for the losses they sustained in the king’s service at Lewes in the battle there).1 Later on, the Fine Roll has more on other knights who took part in the battle: it records relief on Jewish debts for Walter Maureward who was with Roger de Huntingfield ‘at Lewes’ and a similar concession to Gervase de Bestenour whom John de la Haye, one of Montfort’s trustiest lieutenants, testified ‘ before the whole Council’ had been ‘at Lewes’.2 But it is the Dorset knights who are the focus of the present investigation. Who were they, and what had they done to merit such a notable concession, worth a handsome 50 marks (£33) each, a huge and welcome additional sum for men of their social circumstances? On the face of it, the case is simple enough: both had been summoned by the king in March 1264 to muster with his forces at Oxford prior to an onslaught on his Montfortian enemies in April.3 Both may well have fought for the king at Lewes and distinguished themselves in his service somehow in the battle.

  • The Wives of Sir James the Steward -391
    THE WIVES OF SIR JAMES THE STEWARD -391- THE WIVES OF SIR JAMES THE STEWARD (d.1309) by Andrew B W MacEwen1 ABSTRACT This paper rehabilitates the traditional year of Sir James the Steward’s birth, names his first two wives, explains the late date of his third marriage to Giles de Burgh, and provides information about their four known children. It posits a double marriage alliance between the Stewarts and Comyns about 1240, clarifies the date of birth of Robert II, and establishes the circumstances of his mother’s death in 1317. It incidentally brings forward some overlooked information on the Muschamp family and shows when Sir William, earl of Mar, actually died. Lastly it draws together what little is known concerning Sir Nicholas Campbell (d.1305), whose representation passed to the Lochawe branch. Foundations (2011) 3 (5): 391-398 © Copyright FMG and the author Sir James, fifth hereditary Steward of Scotland (d. 16 July 1309), who succeeded his father Sir Alexander2 in 1281 or 1282, is traditionally said to have been born in 1243. Based on the late date of his marriage to Giles de Burgh,3 apparently in 1296, Barrow had suggested as early as 1965 that he was actually born later, perhaps in 1253, the year after his father’s pilgrimage to Compostella. In 1985 Barrow and Royan argued that “James was born even later than that, perhaps around 1260,” at the same time shifting “the likely date of birth of his younger brother John from Nisbet’s ‘1246’ to about 1263.” They concluded, “Although the precise date of James’s birth must remain a matter

I wanted to give you some context for this project. I’m interested in treatise-writing as a practice. Why do people choose to write treatises? I published my first book, Priests of the Law, a little over a year ago. Priests of the Law is about Bracton, a major treatise of the early to mid-thirteenth century. I have now moved on to a project on the later thirteenth century. A number of (mostly shorter) tracts on the common law survive from the period between about 1260 and 1300. These texts are some of the earliest evidence we have for the education of the lawyers who practiced in the English royal courts. Some even appear to be derived from lecture courses on the common law that we otherwise known nothing about. And yet many of them have never been edited. I have begun to edit and translate some of these texts. As I have been working my way through them, I have been looking for connections and trying to make sense of some of the oddities I have been finding in these texts. This paper is my attempt to make sense of the differences in language I have found.
