    The Dilemma of Obedience: Persecution, Dissimulation, and Memory in Early Modern England, 1553-1603 By Robert Lee Harkins A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Ethan Shagan, Chair Professor Jonathan Sheehan Professor David Bates Fall 2013 © Robert Lee Harkins 2013 All Rights Reserved 1 Abstract The Dilemma of Obedience: Persecution, Dissimulation, and Memory in Early Modern England, 1553-1603 by Robert Lee Harkins Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Berkeley Professor Ethan Shagan, Chair This study examines the problem of religious and political obedience in early modern England. Drawing upon extensive manuscript research, it focuses on the reign of Mary I (1553-1558), when the official return to Roman Catholicism was accompanied by the prosecution of Protestants for heresy, and the reign of Elizabeth I (1558-1603), when the state religion again shifted to Protestantism. I argue that the cognitive dissonance created by these seesaw changes of official doctrine necessitated a society in which religious mutability became standard operating procedure. For most early modern men and women it was impossible to navigate between the competing and contradictory dictates of Tudor religion and politics without conforming, dissimulating, or changing important points of conscience and belief. Although early modern theologians and polemicists widely declared religious conformists to be shameless apostates, when we examine specific cases in context it becomes apparent that most individuals found ways to positively rationalize and justify their respective actions. This fraught history continued to have long-term effects on England’s religious, political, and intellectual culture.

  • The College and Canons of St Stephen's, Westminster, 1348
    The College and Canons of St Stephen’s, Westminster, 1348 - 1548 Volume I of II Elizabeth Biggs PhD University of York History October 2016 Abstract This thesis is concerned with the college founded by Edward III in his principal palace of Westminster in 1348 and dissolved by Edward VI in 1548 in order to examine issues of royal patronage, the relationships of the Church to the Crown, and institutional networks across the later Middle Ages. As no internal archive survives from St Stephen’s College, this thesis depends on comparison with and reconstruction from royal records and the archives of other institutions, including those of its sister college, St George’s, Windsor. In so doing, it has two main aims: to place St Stephen’s College back into its place at the heart of Westminster’s political, religious and administrative life; and to develop a method for institutional history that is concerned more with connections than solely with the internal workings of a single institution. As there has been no full scholarly study of St Stephen’s College, this thesis provides a complete institutional history of the college from foundation to dissolution before turning to thematic consideration of its place in royal administration, music and worship, and the manor of Westminster. The circumstances and processes surrounding its foundation are compared with other such colleges to understand the multiple agencies that formed St Stephen’s, including that of the canons themselves. Kings and their relatives used St Stephen’s for their private worship and as a site of visible royal piety.

  • Episcopal Tombs in Early Modern England
    Jnl of Ecclesiastical History, Vol. 55, No. 4, October 2004. f 2004 Cambridge University Press 654 DOI: 10.1017/S0022046904001502 Printed in the United Kingdom Episcopal Tombs in Early Modern England by PETER SHERLOCK The Reformation simultaneously transformed the identity and role of bishops in the Church of England, and the function of monuments to the dead. This article considers the extent to which tombs of sixteenth- and seventeenth-century bishops represented a set of episcopal ideals distinct from those conveyed by the monuments of earlier bishops on the one hand and contemporary laity and clergy on the other. It argues that in death bishops were increasingly undifferentiated from other groups such as the gentry in the dress, posture, location and inscriptions of their monuments. As a result of the inherent tension between tradition and reform which surrounded both bishops and tombs, episcopal monuments were unsuccessful as a means of enhancing the status or preserving the memory and teachings of their subjects in the wake of the Reformation. etween 1400 and 1700, some 466 bishops held office in England and Wales, for anything from a few months to several decades.1 The B majority died peacefully in their beds, some fading into relative obscurity. Others, such as Richard Scrope, Thomas Cranmer and William Laud, were executed for treason or burned for heresy in one reign yet became revered as saints, heroes or martyrs in another. Throughout these three centuries bishops played key roles in the politics of both Church and PRO=Public Record Office; TNA=The National Archives I would like to thank Craig D’Alton, Felicity Heal, Clive Holmes, Ralph Houlbrooke, Judith Maltby, Keith Thomas and the anonymous reader for this JOURNAL for their comments on this article.

But although the complaints brought to light in Warham's visitation of the diocese of Canterbury are remarkably similar in character to those of the Norwich visitation, fresh evidence for different districts is still desirable, and even if the publication of these documents be not otherwise useful, they at least give precise details on the number and names of the inmates of many houses which cannot be obtained elsewhere. Some account of Warham's visitation, is, however, specially desirable since the statements at Georgetown University on September 4, 2015 made by Mr. Froude1 are misleading and have been copied by others. Speaking of Morton's visitation, 1499, he says, ' Evils so deep and abominable would not yield to languid treatment; the visitation had been feeble in its execution and limited in extent. In 1511 a second was attempted by Archbishop Warham.3 This inquiry was more partial than the first, yet similar practices were brought to light: women introduced to religious houses ; nuns and abbesses accusing one another of incontinency; the alms collected in the chapels squandered by the monks in licentiousness. Once more, no cure was attempted beyond a paternal admonition.' These statements are not warranted by the manuscript evidence of ' Warham's Register' * to which Mr.

  • The Impact of Reformation on North-East England
    Northern History, XLV: 1, March 2008 THE IMPACT OF REFORMATION ON NORTH-EAST ENGLAND: A PRELIMINARY SURVEY DIANA NEWTON University of Teesside IN THE AUTUMN of 1547 a royal injunction was issued which included an order to ‘deface all popishe ornaments in parishe churches’ throughout the kingdom. When the visitors charged to enforce it arrived in Durham they found an extremely willing accomplice in Robert Horne (later to become the Dean of Durham). For he enthusi- astically assisted them in their task of mutilating the Corpus Christi shrine in the town’s St Nicholas church; taking it upon himself to smash the relic to pieces with his own feet, the better to thoroughly obliterate this emblem of civic religious ceremony whereby was enacted the whole of salvation history. Quite literally, he was endeav- ouring to stamp out what he regarded as the most visible manifestation of Augustine of Hippo’s fundamentally erroneous doctrine of soteriology: that no human could escape the consequences of Adam’s first sin.1 Grounded in the ‘tragedy of the Fall’, this bleak tenet had loomed over the Christian Church for more than a thousand years and Horne was determined that it should be utterly expunged from the diocese of Durham. On this evidence, it would seem that Durham was ripe for reformation. But, of course, this is far too simplistic. Interpretations of ‘The Reformation’ are many, varied, shifting and kaleidoscopic — illustrating the ambiguities and paradoxes of late-twentieth-and-early-twenty-first-century historical scholarship.

  • The Heads of Religious Houses England and Wales III, 1377-1540 Edited by David M
    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-86508-1 - The Heads of Religious Houses England and Wales III, 1377-1540 Edited by David M. Smith Frontmatter More information THE HEADS OF RELIGIOUS HOUSES ENGLAND AND WALES 1377–1540 This final volume of The Heads of Religious Houses: England and Wales takes the lists of monastic superiors from 1377 to the dissolution of the monastic houses ending in 1540 and so concludes a reference work covering 600 years of monastic history. In addition to surviving monastic archives, record sources have also been provided by episcopal and papal registers, governmental archives, court records, and private, family and estate collections. Full references are given for establishing the dates and outline of the career of each abbot or prior, abbess or prioress, when known. The lists are arranged by order: the Benedictine houses (independent; dependencies; and alien priories); the Cluniacs; the Grandmontines; the Cistercians; the Carthusians; the Augustinian canons; the Premonstratensians; the Gilbertine order; the Trinitarian houses; the Bonhommes; and the nuns. An intro- duction discusses the use and history of the lists and examines critically the sources on which they are based. david m. smith is Professor Emeritus, University of York. © Cambridge University Press www.cambridge.org Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-86508-1 - The Heads of Religious Houses England and Wales III, 1377-1540 Edited by David M.

    156 WILLIAM 'l'YNDALF., that is, Consequence. Since the body of Christ is not with­ out blood, it .follows that His blood is not without the soul; from this it follows that His soul is not without the divin­ ity; from this it follows that His divinity is not without the Father and the Holy Ghost; from this it follows that in the sacrament, even when celebrated under one species, the soul of Christ and the Holy 'l'riuity are eaten and drunk to­ gether with His body and blood; from this it follows that in every single mass the mass-priest ( Messp.fajf) sacrifices and sells the Holy Trinity twice; from this it follows, since divinity is not without the creature, that also heaven and earth must be in the sacrament; from this it follows that the devils and hell are also in the sacrament; from this it fol­ lows that whoever eats the sacrament, also one species, de­ vours (.frisset) the bishop of Meissen together with his mandate and bill; from this it follows that in every mass a Meiss en priest devours and drinks ( siiuft) his bishop twice; from this it follows that the bishop of Meissen must have a belly greater than heaven and earth; and who will ever en u­ merate all the consequences? Finally, however, it also fol­ lows from this that all those who infer such conclusions (alle solcl1e Folger) are asses, clowns, blind, mad, insane, furious, foolish, and raving: this consequence is certain.''
