  • The Bretons and Normans of England 1066-1154: the Family, the Fief and the Feudal Monarchy*
    © K.S.B. Keats-Rohan 1991. Published Nottingham Mediaeval Studies 36 (1992), 42-78 The Bretons and Normans of England 1066-1154: the family, the fief and the feudal monarchy* In memoriam R.H.C.Davis 1. The Problem (i) the non-Norman Conquest Of all the available studies of the Norman Conquest none has been more than tangentially concerned with the fact, acknowledged by all, that the regional origin of those who participated in or benefited from that conquest was not exclusively Norman. The non-Norman element has generally been regarded as too small to warrant more than isolated comment. No more than a handful of Angevins and Poitevins remained to hold land in England from the new English king; only slightly greater was the number of Flemish mercenaries, while the presence of Germans and Danes can be counted in ones and twos. More striking is the existence of the fief of the count of Boulogne in eastern England. But it is the size of the Breton contingent that is generally agreed to be the most significant. Stenton devoted several illuminating pages of his English Feudalism to the Bretons, suggesting for them an importance which he was uncertain how to define.1 To be sure, isolated studies of these minority groups have appeared, such as that of George Beech on the Poitevins, or those of J.H.Round and more recently Michael Jones on the Bretons.2 But, invaluable as such studies undoubtedly are, they tend to achieve no more for their subjects than the status of feudal curiosities, because they detach their subjects from the wider question of just what was the nature of the post-1066 ruling class of which they formed an integral part.

KURTZ ARCHIVARIS VAN DE GEMEENTE HAARLEM TWEEDE DRUK UITGEGEVEN DOOR DE VEREEN1GING HAERLFi DE ERVEN F. BOHN N. V. - HAARLEM I 94 2 INLEIDING In de geschiedenis van ons vaderland neemt Haarlem geen onbelangrijke plaats in. Het mag dan al niet steeds op de voorgrond treden als Amsterdam, toch vinden wij ook telkenmale Haarlem genoemd en speelt het een rol in verschillende belangrijke gebeurtenissen. Ook is Haarlem te beschouwen als het type van een Hollandse stad, door handel en nijverheid opkomende in de Middeleeuwen, in voile bloei, zowel door deze nijverheid als ook door de kunst in de gouden eeuw, om in de I 8e eeuw in matheid en sleur te vervalien, totdat het, na zijn zwartste tijd gedurende de Franse overheersing te hebben doorgemaakt, in de i 9e eeuw weer langzaam tot opbloei komt. Een afzonderlijke geschiedenis van Haarlem is daarom wel op zijn plaats, vooral ook, omdat in Haarlem nog zoveel van het oude is terug te vinden, hetzij in wezen, hetzij in naam, wat ongetwijfeld de geschiedenis van voorbije eeuwen tot een meer levend iets maakt. Het moge mij gegeven zijn, in de volgende bladzijden in het kort deze geschiedenis uiteen te zetten en tevens op de ons nog resterende overblijfselen uit vroeger dagen te kunnen wijzen. Van de jongste geschiedenis zal men echter in dit boekje alleen datgene vinden, wat met het oude in direct verband staat.

  • Devotion and Obedience: a Devotio Moderna Construction of St Bridget of Sweden in Lincoln Cathedral Chapter Manuscript 114
    Devotion and Obedience: A devotio moderna construction of St Bridget of Sweden in Lincoln Cathedral Chapter Manuscript 114 Sara Danielle Mederos Doctor of Philosophy October 2016 Devotion and Obedience: A devotio moderna construction of St Bridget of Sweden in Lincoln Cathedral Chapter Manuscript 114 Sara Danielle Mederos A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the University of Lincoln for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy October 2016 2 Abstract This thesis analyses the construction of the pious lay female in Lincoln Cathedral Manuscript MS 114, through the example of Saint Bridget of Sweden. MS 114 is a devotional manuscript compiled of nineteen different, individual, articles. These nineteen articles are arranged in two, nearly equal, parts. The first part includes several Birgittine texts whereas the second part provides a more thematic approach, emphasising the virtues of humility, chastity, and overall spiritual obedience. Compiled in the Netherlands, sometime during the early fifteenth century, MS 114’s articles were purposely chosen to form a single compilation and was meant to be read as an enhancement of one’s devotion. By analysing the contents of MS 114, its date and provenance, and putting it in the context of the religious movements of its original time and place, this thesis argues that MS 114 was an early manuscript of the devotio moderna movement; a religious movement which attracted many lay devotees and particular female members and which emphasised the use of literature and, in particular, of written examples of holy, female lay lives. MS 114 uses the life of Bridget of Sweden, other works about her, and extracts from other theological texts to explore two devotio moderna virtues.

  • Material Remains: Plantagenet Corpses, Burial Sites, and Memorials
    Material Remains: Plantagenet Corpses, Burial Sites, and Memorials Carole M. Cusack Introduction The Middle Ages was an era in which peculiar significance was placed upon dead human bodies. Granted, this was most intensely felt in cases of the ‘holy dead’, those for whom it was anticipated that after a short period of time canonisation would follow hard upon the heels of death, such as the murdered Archbishop of Canterbury, Thomas Becket (d. 1170). The prompt response of Pope Alexander III, who canonised Becket in 1173, and the rapturous embrace of the cult of Saint Thomas, seen in the pilgrimage from Southwark to Canterbury immortalised in Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales, is a particularly clear example, especially when the gruesome details of the relic-taking from the martyr’s corpse are known.1 Yet the bodies of royalty could, under certain circumstances, be revered in like fashion: a phenomenon such as the rapid growth of Gloucester Abbey (now Cathedral) as a pilgrimage site, due to the burial of Edward II in December 1327 and the lavish gifts that his son Edward III made to the church testifies to this (as does Richard II’s formal request to the Papacy that his Carole M. Cusack is a Professor of Religious Studies at the University of Sydney. Thanks are due to her research assistant Camille Dewell, who assembled the notes and images for this article during her work experience at the University of Sydney in November 2015. The research was first presented as a lecture to the Plantagenet Society of Australia meeting on 19 March 2016 at Hornsby Library.

  • The Archaeology of Castle Slighting in the Middle Ages
    The Archaeology of Castle Slighting in the Middle Ages Submitted by Richard Nevell, to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Archaeology in October 2017. This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. Signature: ……………………………………………………………………………… Abstract Medieval castle slighting is the phenomenon in which a high-status fortification is demolished in a time of conflict. At its heart are issues about symbolism, the role of castles in medieval society, and the politics of power. Although examples can be found throughout the Middle Ages (1066–1500) in England, Wales and Scotland there has been no systematic study of the archaeology of castle slighting. Understanding castle slighting enhances our view of medieval society and how it responded to power struggles. This study interrogates the archaeological record to establish the nature of castle slighting: establishing how prevalent it was chronologically and geographically; which parts of castles were most likely to be slighted and why this is significant; the effects on the immediate landscape; and the wider role of destruction in medieval society. The contribution of archaeology is especially important as contemporary records give little information about this phenomenon. Using information recovered from excavation and survey allows this thesis to challenge existing narratives about slighting, especially with reference to the civil war between Stephen and Matilda (1139–1154) and the view that slighting was primarily to prevent an enemy from using a fortification.

  • Scandinavian Kingship Transformed Succession, Acquisition and Consolidation in the Twelfth and Thirteenth Centuries
    Scandinavian Kingship Transformed Succession, Acquisition and Consolidation in the Twelfth and Thirteenth Centuries Thomas Glærum Malo Tollefsen Submission for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Cardiff University – School of History, Archaeology, and Religion March 2020 0 Abstract This is a comparative study of Scandinavian kingship in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, based on the themes of succession, acquisition, and consolidation of power. These themes con- stitute the study’s overarching questions: How did a king become a king? How did he keep his kingdom? And finally, how did he pass it on? In order to provide answers to these question this study will consider first the Scandina- vian rules of succession, what they were, to whom they gave succession rights, as well as the order of succession. Second, the study will look at different ways in which kings acquired the kingship, such as through trial by combat and designation succession. Third, the study will look at what happens when succession rules were completely disregarded and children were being made kings, by looking at the processes involved in achieving this as well as asking who the real kingmakers of twelfth century Denmark were. Finally, the study will determine how kings consolidated their power. This study shows, that despite some Scandinavian peculiarities, kingship in Scandinavia was not fundamentally different from European kingship in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. It also shows that the practice of kingship was dependent on political circumstances making it impossible to draw general conclusions spanning centuries and vast geographical regions. We can look at principles that gave us a general framework, but individual cases were determined by circumstance.

  • Descendants of William
    Descendants of William Generation 1 1. WILLIAM (Robert, Richard, Richard) was born in 1027 in Falaise, France. He died on 09 Sep 1087 in Rouen, England. He married Matilda between 1051-1053 in France. She was born in 1032. She died on 03 Nov 1083. Notes for William: William the Conqueror is my seventh cousin, 26 times removed. The ancestor in common with William and me is the ninth century Norwegian Viking, Eystein Glumra Ivarsson. Glumra Ivarsson is William's sixth great grandfather and Glumra Ivarsson is my 32nd great grandfather on my Mother's Abney side of the family. William is the 17th great grandfather of affluent Englishman Edward Southworth, first husband of Alice Carpenter, on my Father's side of the family. Alice, through her second marriage, is my seventh great grandmother. William is the 31st great grandfather to my Westmoreland grandchildren: Katie, Jack, Lily, Sarah and Sam. Early in his adult life, he was known as William II, Duke of Normandy. It was later that he became better known as William I, or William the Conqueror, King of England. He subdued rebellious vassals, defeated King Henry I of France at Val des Dunes (Henry is William's first cousin, twice removed). William defeated Harold, Saxon King of England at the Battle of Hastings in 1066. He was crowned King of England on December 22, 1066, according to some reports. Others place the coronation on Christmas day. The coronation was in Westminster Abbey. So, it can be said that this part of our family did not immigrate to England.
