Two places in Scotland are designated Cupar—one a royal burgli and the capital of Fifeshire ; the other a town in Angus or Forfarshire, resting on the eastern border of Perthshire, and the site of an important abbey. To etymologists the name is a puzzle. In his " Memorials of Angus and Mearns," Mr Jervise remarks that it may be derived from the Gaelic Cid-hhar, the back or end of a height or bank. " If a Gaelic derivation is to be preferred," our correspon- dent, Dr Charles Mackay, suggests that " the name may have come from cohhair, a sanctuary or place of monkish retirement." But Dr Mackay, Professor Ehys, Dr W. F. Skene, and Dr Thomas M'Lauchlan are all disposed to think that the name is not Celtic. It has been suggested that as David I. and his royal successors brought into Scotland traders from the Low Countries, the name may be derived from the Flemish coper, signifying one who exchanges com- modities. And in a recent publication there is a list of religious houses in Great Britain that, in the thirteenth century, sent wool to Flanders, in which ; Vl PREFACE. is entered " Ciipre," its wool being denoted or valued at ''xxxv. Ib."^ The early spelling, Cuhre and Cupre, might suggest a derivation in the vernacular coo lyre, pointing to cow-houses and rich pasturage. But an etymon yet to be named is perhaps the true one. The famous Cuthbert, monk of Melrose and Lindis- farne, a saint of the seventh century, had in Scotland twenty-three churches consecrated to or associated with his name."^ One of his churches in Cornwall, overlooking the Bristol Channel, is designated Cuhert, differing but slightly from an early form of Cupar. The site of a church named in honour of a saint con- nected with his own monastery might have suggested to Waltheve, Abbot of Melrose/ King Malcolm's adviser, the appropriateness of its neighbourhood as the site of a religious edifice. Cupar Abbey was founded by King Malcolm IV., surnamed the Maiden. The ceremonial took place on Sunday, the 12th July 1164. Dedicated to the Virgin, the abbey was planted with Bernardines, or monks of the Cistercian order. These following the rule of St Benedict, wore white dresses, with a black ^ From the Archives of Douai—Registre L., fol. 44 ; Registre MM., fol. 43 cited in " Histoire des Relations Diplomatiques entre le Comte de Flandre et I'Angleterre au Moyen Age," par M.

By Wyntoun the act of founda- tion is thus chronicled : " A thousand a hundyre and sexty yliere And fowre till thai till I'ekyne clere, Malcolme Kyng off Scotland, And pesybly in it rignand, The ellevynd yhere off his crowne Mad the fundatyowne Off the Abbay off Culpyre in Angws, And dowyt it wyth hys almws. All lyk to Cystwys in habyt, "We oys to call tharae mwnkys qwhyt." ^ Of the thirteen Cistercian monasteries or abbeys which, prior to the Reformation, existed in Scotland, Cupar was sixth in the order of construction. The five earlier foundations belonged to the reign of the saintly David I. —Melrose, Newbattle, Dundrennan, Holmcultrum, and Kinloss being reared from 1136 to 1152. The Cistercian abbeys erected afterwards were Saddell, Culross, Deer, Mauchline, Balmerinoch, and Sweetheart. There were besides thirteen nun- neries connected with the order. The early history of Cupar Abbey is chiefly derived from the abbreviated Register, of which the first portion only has been discovered. In the present volume it is printed from a transcript by Sir James Balfour, preserved in the Advocates Library. Ac- cording to Mr Cosmo Innes, the original of this fragment is in the library at Panmure.- 1 Androw of Wyntoun's Orygynale Cronykil of Scotland, bk. vii., ch. vii., fol. 170, 1465-1474. Edinb. 1872. 2 Originales Parocbiales Scotioe-, 1850, i., preface xxxiii. In the Breviary are named two charters of Mal- cohn IV., "given at Traquair." In the former he confirms to the abbey all his lands at Cupar; in the latter he bestows on the monks coal and certain privileges in the royal forests. From Malcolm's brother and successor, William the Lion, the abbey received lands and immunities. In a charter issued at Eoxburgh, he confirmed to the monks the grants made by his predecessor. As a site for the abbey he gave half a carucate of land (about fifty acres), also the king's chase and a portion of waste land. For endowment he, in two charters granted at Perth, bestowed the lands of Aber- bothry and Keithock. At Edinburgh he issued to the abbey a charter of the lands of Parthesin (Persie), excepting that portion on the south side of the Ferdil (Ardle) stream, opposite to Clonyn (Cluny), which he reserved for his own use. By a charter at Kin- ross he granted to the abbey two ploughgates of land in the district of Eethrife (Rattray), and in a charter at Forfar the marsh of Blair or Blairgowrie. This latter territory was under a royal precept conveyed to the monks by certain commissioners, including Earl Duncan, royal justiciary; Hugh of Kaledon; Roger of Mortuomari (Mortimer) ; Macbeth, judge of Gowrie; and Duncan, son of Donald. By a charter issued at Jedburgh, William exempted the monks of Cupar from all tolls, market and ferry imposts, and other customs, and gave them power to buy and sell throughout the kingdom. In two charters, dated at Perth, he liberated them from all secular exactions, and empowered them to search for goods stolen from them. In charters issued at Edin- burgh and Charleston, he made provision that all persons indebted to the abbey should promptly make payment on pain of forfeiture, while, under a like penalty, all were prohibited from distraining for debt any member of the institution. William of Hay, who succeeded his father about the year 1170, received from William the Lion the manor of Errol, in the Carse of Gowrie; he soon afterwards granted to the monks of Cupar the lands of Ederpoles (Lederpoles), for the weal of the souls of King Malcolm and of his sovereign lord. King William ; likewise for the weal of his own soul and the souls of his father and mother, and of his uncle. Sir Ranulph de Sules (Souhs). His donative is con- firmed by royal charter. For the repose of the souls of King William, and of his own father, Wilham of Hay, and Ethnia, his father's spouse, and of the soul of Eva, his wife, Sir David of Hay, eldest son of Wilham of Hay, granted to the abbey a net's fishing on the river Tay, between Lornie and the Hermitage. In the transcript of this charter, preserved at Panmure,^ the Hermitage is described as formerly occupied by a hermit named Gillemichel, ^ Panmure Collections, MS., iv. 121, 122, quoted in Jervise's "Memorials of Angus and Mearus." and the abbey was to possess the same privileges which he enjoyed. The instrument is witnessed by Eobert and Malcohn, David's brothers, Adam, pastor of Inchture, and others ; and the grant is confirmed by WilHam the Lion. Various other grants to the abbey, by the fomily of Hay of Errol, are entered in the Breviary. The entire lands in the Carse of Gowrie, which his brother David gave him for homage and service, William of Hay conferred on the abbey for the welfare of his own soul, and for the souls of Ada his wife, William his father, and Eva his mother. By Gilbert of Hay, eldest son of David, the pastures and fishings of Ederpoles, along with the mill and standing and running waters on the lands, were confirmed to the monks. Gilbert also gave them a common road through his estates for their personal use, and for their cattle. By another charter he confirmed to them a carucate of land granted them by William of Hay, his uncle ; this charter was confirmed at Forfar by Alexander II., on the 28th April 1242.

  • The Cistercian Abbey of Coupar Angus, C.1164-C.1560
    1 The Cistercian Abbey of Coupar Angus, c.1164-c.1560 Victoria Anne Hodgson University of Stirling Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy August 2016 2 3 Abstract This thesis is an examination of the Cistercian abbey of Coupar Angus, c.1164-c.1560, and its place within Scottish society. The subject of medieval monasticism in Scotland has received limited scholarly attention and Coupar itself has been almost completely overlooked, despite the fact that the abbey possesses one of the best sets of surviving sources of any Scottish religious house. Moreover, in recent years, long-held assumptions about the Cistercian Order have been challenged and the validity of Order-wide generalisations disputed. Historians have therefore highlighted the importance of dedicated studies of individual houses and the need to incorporate the experience of abbeys on the European ‘periphery’ into the overall narrative. This thesis considers the history of Coupar in terms of three broadly thematic areas. The first chapter focuses on the nature of the abbey’s landholding and prosecution of resources, as well as the monks’ burghal presence and involvement in trade. The second investigates the ways in which the house interacted with wider society outside of its role as landowner, particularly within the context of lay piety, patronage and its intercessory function. The final chapter is concerned with a more strictly ecclesiastical setting and is divided into two parts. The first considers the abbey within the configuration of the Scottish secular church with regards to parishes, churches and chapels. The second investigates the strength of Cistercian networks, both domestic and international.

    XIX.—Reginald, bishop of Bath (HJJfUgi); his episcopate, and his share in the building of the church of Wells. By the Rev. C. M. CHURCH, M.A., F.8.A., Sub-dean and Canon Residentiary of Wells. Read June 10, 1886. I VENTURE to think that bishop Eeginald Fitzjocelin deserves a place of higher honour in the history of the diocese, and of the fabric of the church of Wells, than has hitherto been accorded to him. His memory has been obscured by the traditionary fame of bishop Robert as the "author," and of bishop Jocelin as the "finisher," of the church of Wells; and the importance of his episcopate as a connecting link in the work of these two master-builders has been comparatively overlooked. The only authorities followed for the history of his episcopate have been the work of the Canon of Wells, printed by Wharton, in his Anglia Sacra, 1691, and bishop Godwin, in his Catalogue of the Bishops of England, 1601—1616. But Wharton, in his notes to the text of his author, comments on the scanty notice of bishop Reginald ;a and Archer, our local chronicler, complains of the unworthy treatment bishop Reginald had received from Godwin, also a canon of his own cathedral church.b a Reginaldi gesta historicus noster brevius quam pro viri dignitate enarravit.

  • The Diocese of Sodor Between N I Ð Aróss and Avignon – Rome, 1266
    Theð diocese of Sodor between Ni aróss and Avignon – Rome, 1266-1472 Sarah E. Thomas THE organisation and administration of the diocese of Sodor has been discussed by a number of scholars, either jointly with Argyll or in relation to 1 ð Norway. In 1266 the diocese of Sodor or Su reyjar encompassed the Hebrides and the Isle of Man, but by the end of the fourteenth century, it was divided between the Scottish Hebrides and English Man. The diocese’s origins lay in the Norseð kingdom of the Isles and Man and its inclusion in the province of Ni aróss can be traced back to the actions of Olaf 2 Godredsson in the 1150s.ð After the Treaty of Perth of 2 July 1266, Sodor remained within the Ni aróss church province whilst secular sovereignty 3 and patronage of the see had been transferred to the King of Scots. However, wider developments in the Christian world and the transfer of allegiance of Hebridean secular ðrulers from Norway to Scotland after 1266 would loosen Sodor’s ties to Ni aróss. This article examines the diocese of Sodor’s relationship with its metropolitan and the rather neglected area of its developing links with the papacy. It argues that the growing 1 A.I.

  • Kilwinning-Abbey-By-Ja-Ness.Pdf
    John Ness was a keen local historian with a large collection of papers, books, pamphlets, charts and letters about Kilwinning and district, but being before the days of computers and the Internet, collating and editing this booklet would surely have meant many long hours searching through piles of books and notes. It was originally published in 1967, no doubt as part of the Abbey Church’s 400th anniversary celebrations (albeit a year or two late if the dates are correct), and was one of only a few collected sources of information about the Abbey. Of course, it is now long out of print and only a few dog-eared copies exist in libraries, but now it is accessible to the public once more. To make it easier to read on a computer screen, it hasn’t been recreated in its completely original form, but I have more or less kept the same layout. I made a few minor changes, adding a few commas here and there to make the sometimes slightly awkward sentence construction easier to read. If something reads a little strangely to modern eyes, that was the author’s style. Also, I corrected a very few obvious printing errors, and standardised words and phrases that were in bold type for no good reason. Full- or half-page photos which were in the middle of the booklet are now placed at the end. This is not meant as an academic work, so if anyone reads a statement which they believe is inaccurate or just plain wrong, the mistake is not mine.

    II.—An Account of St Columbd's Abbey, Inchcolm. Accompanied with Plans, ^c.1 (Plates IV.-VL) By THOMAS ARNOLD, Esq., Architect, M.R.LB.A, Lond. [Communicated January 11, 1869, with an Introductory Note.] NEAR the northern shores of the Firth of Forth, and within sight of Edin- burgh, lies the island anciently known as Emona, and in later times as Inchcolm, the island of St Columba. It is of very small extent, scarcely over half a mile in length, and 400 feet in width at its broadest part. The tide of commerce and busy life which ebbs and flows around has left the little inch in a solitude as profound as if it gemmed the bosom of some Highland loch, a solitude which impresses itself deeply on the stranger who comes to gaze on its ruined, deserted, and forgotten Abbey. Few even of those who visit the island from the beautiful village of Aberdour, close to it, know anything of its history, and as few out of sight of the island know of its existence at all. But although now little known beyond the shores of the Forth, Inchcolm formerly held a high place in the veneration of the Scottish people as the cradle of the religious life of the surrounding districts, and was second only to lona as a holy isle in whose sacred soil it was the desire of many generations to be buried. It numbered amongst its abbots men of high position and learning. Noble benefactors enriched it with broad lands and rich gifts, and its history and remains, like the strata of some old mountain, bear the marks of every great wave of life which has passed over our country.

A study of how the Kennedys extended their influence across south-west Scotland and acquired an earldom has never been undertaken. This thesis aims to fill the significant gap in our understanding of how lordship operated in this region. In particular, analysis of the interactions between the Kennedys and the earls of Carrick, usually the monarch or his heir, demonstrates that the key factor in their success was their policy of close alignment and support of the crown.
