  • Durham Cathedral: Building Time Line with Significant Historic Events
    Durham Cathedral: Building time line with significant historic events Pre Conquest 634 Oswald reclaimed the Kingdom of Northumbria from Penda of Mercia, reigning for 9 years as a Christian King. He brought Aidan from Iona and installed him as first Bishop of Lindisfarne. 641 Oswiu, brother of Oswald was made King of Northumbria after Penda defeated and killed Oswald. Oswiu ruled for 28 years. 687 Death of Cuthbert, the ascetic Prior and later Bishop of Lindisfarne (born 625). After his death the monks at Lindisfarne elevated him to sainthood in 698. The Lindisfarne Gospels are completed around this time. 793 Following the Viking attack on Holy Island and the sacking of the monastery there, the monks moved to the old Roman town of Chester le Street in 795, carrying Cuthbert’s coffin to the new priory site. 865-8 First Viking invasion by Danes, using the Humber, Trent and Ouse, they penetrated both Northumbria and Mercia appropriating territory for settlement. The Anglo Saxons called them the ‘heathen army’. 954 King Eadred conquers the Scandinavian Kingdom of York, Yorkshire and Lancashire are carved out of Northumbria, and Northumbria’s southern boundary moves from the Humber to the Tees. 995 Cuthbert's community of monks see the defensive potential of the rocky site at Durham situated on a loop of the River Wear and decide to move their church there and establish an Episcopal See under Bishop Aldhun. The first church constructed is of wood, but it is rebuilt in 998 in stone. 1020 The church is again rebuilt as a much larger stone Cathedral, completed in 1042 in the Saxon style, known as the ‘White Church’.

This study is meant to illuminate the lives of the women in the Anglo-Norman chronicles at every stage of life. While many modern books have addressed medieval women, they have attempted to deal with women more generally, looking at many areas and societies over hundreds of years. Other modern historians have focused on a few select women using evidence from the same Anglo-Norman chronicles used in this study.

Young Flagler College This paper describes the use of the cult of Saint Cuthbert in the High Middle Ages by both the bishops of Durham and the Benedictine community that was tied to the Episcopal see. Its central contention is that the churchmen of Durham adapted this popular cult to the political expediencies of the time. In the late eleventh and early twelfth centuries, when Bishop William de St. Calais ousted the entrenched remnants of the Lindisfarne community and replaced them with Benedictines, Cuthbert was primarily a monastic saint and not, as he would become, a popular pilgrimage saint. However, once the Benedictine community was firmly entrenched in Durham, the bishops, most prominently Hugh de Puiset, sought to create a saint who would appeal to a wide audience of pilgrims, including the women who had been excluded from direct worship in the earlier, Benedictine version of the saint.

  • Address and Delivery in Anglo-Norman Royal Charters
    SHARPE 1 Charters and Charter Scholarship in Britain and Ireland, ed. M. T. Flanagan & J. A. Green (London: Palgrave, 2005), 32–52 [original page numbers in square brackets]. ADDRESS AND DELIVERY IN ANGLO-NORMAN ROYAL CHARTERS The writ is now widely recognized as an innovative diplomatic instrument, created in Anglo-Saxon England, developed by Anglo-Norman rulers, and by the end of the twelfth century influential elsewhere. Its essence is that it was delivered to a particular person or body responsible for the appropriate aspect of the administration of the realm or the doing of royal justice. In diplomatic terms, this is expressed in the address clause which is generally the vital clue to the way a document would be used and therefore to what it was meant to accomplish. There was an inherent linkage between the nature of the transaction, the person or body to whom it would be delivered, and the address clause. Who actually delivered the document would vary according to the nature of the business too, but the documents themselves do not spell out this step in the process: that must be inferred from understanding the relationship between address and function. The eleventh century appears to us now to be the key period in the evolution of the writ, though such a conclusion is bedevilled by issues of survival. All surviving pre-Conquest ‘writs’ are in fact what I should define more narrowly as ‘writ-charters’: that is, they are deliverable writs whose role was (or had developed into) that of charters. Anglo-Saxon writ-charters were addressed and delivered to the shire court, where they were publicly read before being returned to the beneficiary to keep for future use.

  • Images of the Courtier in Elizabethan England
    IMAGES OF THE COURTIER IN ELIZABETHAN ENGLAND by MARY PARTRIDGE A thesis submitted to The University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Modern History School of Historical Studies The University of Birmingham April 2008 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged. Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. This thesis evaluates cultural constructs of the courtier in Elizabethan England. It focuses particularly on Castiglione’s Book of the Courtier. The Courtier is generally recognised as one of the most influential texts in Renaissance Europe. It was originally published in Venice in 1528; the first English translation was produced by Thomas Hoby in 1561. This thesis aims to provide an integrated analysis of Castiglione’s contribution to English political culture throughout the second half of the sixteenth century. It considers the circumstances in which Hoby translated the Courtier, and his motives for doing so. It identifies two distinct models of courtliness delineated by the Urbino interlocutors, and assesses the extent to which these models influenced the self-presentation of leading Elizabethan politicians. The thesis also engages with negative characterisations of the courtier.

  • Here We’Re Looking at Things from Around the North East of England
    Durham Cathedral Transcript Season 2, Episode 4 Hello, and welcome to the Time Pieces History Podcast! This is episode four of season two, where we’re looking at things from around the north east of England. I’m guessing that more people will be familiar with today’s object – Durham Cathedral – than Tuesday’s visit to Saltwell Park. Remember, shownotes, links and a transcript are available on the episode page on my website at gudrunlauret.com. You can leave me a comment or review there, or drop one on whichever platform you use for podcast listening. And you can also find me over on Twitter @GudrunLauret. The land on which the present Cathedral sits has been of religious significance for thousands of years. In 665, Cuthbert had arrived in Lindisfarne, where he lived as a monk and then a bishop for 20 years. Not long after his death in 687, miracles began to be attributed to Cuthbert, and Alfred the Great, King of Wessex, had a vision of him in which he encouraged the King to fight the Danes. The Wessex family made Cuthbert an important figure, and he was quickly made a saint. He is the patron saint of Northumbria. Unfortunately, St Cuthbert’s afterlife wasn’t entirely peaceful. During the Viking raids in the 9th century, the monks of Lindisfarne became concerned that his relics could be destroyed. They decided to move him somewhere safe, and loaded his oak coffin onto a cart. The cart, pulled by a cow, was very heavy, and the legend says that eventually the cow finally had enough of wandering around and dragging the heavy load.

  • GENDER in HISTORY
    Susan M. Johns - 9781526137555 Downloaded from manchesterhive.com at 09/29/2021 10:23:54PM via free access GENDER in HISTORY Series editors: Pam Sharpe, Patricia Skinner and Penny Summerfield The expansion of research into the history of women and gender since the 1970s has changed the face of history. Using the insights of feminist theory and of historians of women, gender historians have explored the configura- tion in the past of gender identities and relations between the sexes. They have also investigated the history of sexuality and family relations, and analysed ideas and ideals of masculinity and femininity. Yet gender history has not abandoned the original, inspirational project of women’s history: to recover and reveal the lived experience of women in the past and the present. The series Gender in History provides a forum for these developments. Its historical coverage extends from the medieval to the modern periods, and its geographical scope encompasses not only Europe and North America but all corners of the globe. The series aims to investigate the social and cultural constructions of gender in historical sources, as well as the gendering of historical discourse itself. It embraces both detailed case studies of spe- cific regions or periods, and broader treatments of major themes. Gender in History titles are designed to meet the needs of both scholars and students working in this dynamic area of historical research.
