  • Form in Sixteenth-Century Scottish Inventories: the Worst Sort of Bed Michael Pearce
    Beds of ‘Chapel’ Form in Sixteenth-Century Scottish Inventories: The Worst Sort of Bed michael pearce 1 Lit parement: a ‘sperver’ with a corona over a bed without a tester or celour. Bibliothèque de Genève, MS Fr. 165 fol. 4, Charles VI and Pierre Salmon, c.1415 Several sixteenth-century Scottish inventories mention ‘chapel beds’. A chapel bed was constructed at Dunfermline palace in November 1600 for Anne of Denmark prior to the birth of Charles I. This article proposes that these were beds provided with a sus - pended canopy with curtains which would surround any celour or tester (Figure 1). The ‘chapel’ was perhaps equivalent with the English ‘sperver’ or ‘sparver,’ a term not much used in Scotland in the sixteenth century, and more commonly found in older English texts of the late Middle Ages. The curtains of the medieval sperver hung from a rigid former, which could be hoop-like, a roundabout or corona, suspended from the chamber ceiling and perhaps principally constructed around a wooden cross like a simple chandelier.1 This canopy with its two curtains drawn back was given the name sperver from a fancied resemblance to a type of hawk, while also bearing a strong resemblance to a bell tent. A form of the word used in Scotland in 1474 — sparwart — is close to the etymological root of the word for hawk.2 The rigid former was called 1 Leland (1770), pp. 301–02. 2 Treasurer’s Accounts, vol. 1 (1877), p. 141; Eames (1977), pp. 75 and 83; see Oxford English Dictionary, ‘Sparver’ and ‘Sperver’.

Constable x ou T for the Scottish History Society 1898 PREFATORY NOTE The manuscript Compt Bulk of David Wedderburne belonged to the late Mr. A. C. Lamb, Dundee, and a few of the historical entries were used in Mr. Lamb’s volume, entitled Dundee: its Quaint and Historic Buildings. The editor assisted Mr. Lamb in the preparation of the literary portion of that volume, and it occurred to him that the Compt Buik would afford precisely the kind of material suitable for a volume such as the Scottish History Society would publish. On making the suggestion to Mr. Lamb, he at once adopted it, and placed the manuscript at the disposal of the Society. He gave free access to his extensive collection of documents relating to the history of Dundee, and rendered valuable assistance in other ways. As the Editor had made voluminous notes in the charter- room of Dundee when engaged upon his Boll of Eminent Burgesses of Dundee, 1513-1887, he was able to utilise these in identifying many of the persons mentioned in the Compt Buik. He has specially to acknowledge the courtesy of Alexander Wedderburn, Esq., Q.C., London, who kindly pro- vided the material for the account of the Wedderburn Family, which forms a separate portion of the Introduction.

In the eleventh century the centre of ecclesiastical power was transferred from Iona to Dunfermline, after the Culdee leadership had been overpowered by the authority of the Roman Church, and King Malcolm and Queen Margaret had made the seat of their Court the leading centre of religious worship.

A wealth of information has been uncovered on the medieval burgh, revealing aspects of its development, society, trade and industry. In particular, the recently restored Abbot House has been found to contain a complex architectural archaeologicaland history. Preparation thisof paper entirelywas fundedby Historic Scotland.

The former burgh of Dunfermline, Fife, was among the first burghs to be studied by the Scottish Burgh Survey (Gourlay & Turner 1978). Prior to publication of the Burgh Survey, almost the only archaeological work in the town had been by the Office of Works/Department of the Environment at the abbey (3,4} and palace (5), both now in the care of Historic Scotland.

Their youngest son, David I (1124-53), revitalised the monastery, rebuilding it anew and confirming its role as royal mausoleum; King Robert Bruce was laid to rest there in 1329. The abbey guest house served as a royal residence, and was greatly remodelled for James V in the 1530s. Following the Protestant Reformation (1560), the abbey nave continued in use as the burgh's parish church, whilst the east end was allowed to fall into ruin. In the 1590s, the area to the west of the abandoned cloister was transformed into a residence for James VI's queen, Anna; Charles I was born there in 1600.
