  • The Military Orders in Wales and the Welsh March in the Middle Ages1
    The Military Orders in Wales and the Welsh March in the Middle Ages In the later medieval centuries the Hospitallers’ estates in Wales were among the most extensive of any religious corporation there. In 1535, just before the dissolution of the monasteries, the commandery at Slebech was the third richest monastic house in Wales, after the Cistercian abbeys at Tintern and Valle Crucis. The next richest house after Slebech was another Cistercian house, Margam Abbey, © Copyrighted Material followed by the Benedictine priory at Abergavenny. by comparison with other Hospitaller houses in England and Wales.

In order to avoid confusion, a date which in the modern calendar would be written 2 February 1714 is written 2 February 1713/4 - i.e. the baptism, marriage or burial occurred in the 3 months (January, February and the first 3 weeks of March) of 1713 which 'rolled over' into what in a modern calendar would be 1714. • Civil registration was introduced in England and Wales in 1837 and records were archived quarterly; hence, for example, 'born in 1840Q1' the author here uses to mean that the birth took place in January, February or March of 1840. Where only a baptism date is given for an individual born after 1837, assume the birth was registered in the same quarter.

  • HEREFORDSHIRE Is Repeatedly Referred to in Domesday As Lying In
    ABO BLOOD GROUPS, HUMAN HISTORY AND LANGUAGE IN HEREFORDSHIRE WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO THE LOW B FREQUENCY IN EUROPE I. MORGAN WATKIN County Health Department, Aberystwyth Received6.x.64 1.INTRODUCTION HEREFORDSHIREis repeatedly referred to in Domesday as lying in Wales and the county is regularly described as such in the Pipe Rolls until 1249-50. Of the two dozen or so charters granted to the county town, a number are addressed to the citizens of Hereford in Wales. That fluency in Welsh was until 1855oneof the qualifications for the post of clerk to the Hereford city magistrates indicated the county's bilingual nature. The object of the present investigation is to ascertain whether there is any significant genetic difference between the part of Herefordshire conquered by the Anglo-Saxons and the area called "Welsh Hereford- shire ".Assome moorland parishes have lost 50 per cent. of their inhabitants during the last 50 years, the need to carry out the survey is the more pressing. 2.THE HUMAN HISTORY OF HEREFORDSHIRE Pre-Norman Conquest Offa'sgeneral line of demarcation between England and Wales in the eighth century extending in Herefordshire from near Lyonshall to Bridge Sollars, about five miles upstream from Hereford, is inter- mittent in the well-wooded lowlands, being only found in the Saxon clearings. From this Fox (i) infers that the intervening forest with its dense thickets of thorn and bramble filling the space under the tree canopy was an impassable barrier. Downstream to Redbrook (Glos.) the river was probably the boundary but the ferry crossing from Beachley to Aust and the tidal navigational rights up the Wye were retained by the Welsh—facts which suggest that the Dyke was in the nature of an agreed frontier.

  • Some Welshmen in Domesday Book and Beyond: Aspects of Anglo-Welsh Relations in the Eleventh Century
    12 Some Welshmen in Domesday Book and Beyond: Aspects of Anglo-Welsh Relations in the Eleventh Century DAVID E. THORNTON HEREAS the importance for the study of eleventh-century English Whistory of William the Conqueror’s great land survey known, since the twelfth century, as ‘Domesday Book’ hardly needs stating, its value as a source for the history of Wales during the same period is perhaps less self-evident.1 True, Welsh historians from Sir John Lloyd onwards have drawn on the survey for their historical reconstructions, but most of these studies have tended to ‘sample’ Domesday Book in order to supplement information drawn from their other – main – primary sources. While there are notable exceptions to this rule, a thorough analysis of Wales and Welshmen in Domesday Book per se remains to be undertaken.2 My purpose in the present paper is to make a contribution towards redressing this historiographical deficiency,3 by offering a prosopo- graphical analysis of the Welsh individuals who occur in Domesday Book and especially those who occur before the Norman Conquest – that is, tempore regis Edwardi, or TRE as it is usually indicated in the text itself. The starting point is the data presented in Table 12.1 below: that is, a total of seventy-nine entries 1 In this paper I shall cite Domesday Book from Farley’s edition, which employs the folios of the original manuscripts: Domesday Book seu Liber Censualis Willelmi Primi Regis Angliae, ed. Abraham Farley, 2 vols. (London, 1783), hereafter DB. Farley’s text is most readily available in the so-called ‘Phillimore’ edition and translation, which also uses a more specific means of locating entries: Domesday Book.
