The Ricardian Bulletin produced by the Bulletin Editorial Committee, General Editor Elizabeth Nokes and printed by St Edmundsbury Press. © Richard III Society, 2004 1 From the Chairman t is now a year since we introduced the first edition of the new look Bulletin and I think that I it’s fair to say that it is a winner. Knowing some of the things in store for future issues, I'm sure that things are going to get even better. Writing of things getting better, we have already had two programmes this year on terrestrial television giving a positive image of Richard III to a wide viewing audience. First there was To- ny Robinson’s programme, which we reviewed in March, and now Terry Jones’series Mediaeval Lives. As befits a former member of the Monty Python team, Terry mixed serious history and humour in a clever and sometimes idiosyncratic way. No matter, it got the message across, de- bunking a number of mediaeval myths along the way. One in particular certainly hit home for us, and how nice it was to hear Thomas Langton’s panegyric description of Richard’s kingship quot- ed again on prime time television. The producers of Mediaeval Lives consulted the Society dur- ing the development stage of the series, and, as with the Robinson programme, we were able to influence the representation of Richard and his reign. The Society is making a real difference to how the king is perceived in the popular imagination. A simple fact illustrating what we gain from such a proactive approach is that the number of new members joining the Society during the first quarter of 2004 is double that of last year. A third programme, ‘Historyonics’, is reviewed by Geoff Wheeler later in this issue. It has been said many times that we are able to have this positive influence on both the aca- demic and popular view of Richard III because we have a strong and active membership. We do not take this for granted. As a part of the ongoing review of Society activities we have recently been looking at membership administration and have decided on some radical changes. They are explained next in this issue, but I would just like to say that the changes will benefit all members and I am especially grateful to Wendy Moorhen for her work in bringing it all together. On the subject of membership, it is worth noting already that the Members’ Day and Society AGM for 2004 will be held on the 2 October in Bristol at an exciting venue in the heart of the city. It will be only the second time that this event has been held outside London, so I hope that there will be a good turn-out of members from across the country. Undoubtedly, a highlight of this issue is the debate between Joanna Laynesmith and Michael Jones over the legitimacy of Edward IV. I’m sure that it’s a subject which will run and run. It will be interesting to read the responses to the arguments in the Autumn Bulletin, and that we are hosting such a debate goes to show that this Society is very much at the forefront of late-fifteenth -century history studies. This year we celebrate the twenty-fifth anniversary of HRH The Duke of Gloucester’s patron- age. The Duke has always taken a keen interest in the Society and over the years has attended many important events, most recently the Festschrift launch. We will celebrate this anniversary in the Autumn Bulletin. Finally, on a more personal note, I am very happy to be able to report in this issue on my re- cent marriage to Beth Argall, which took place in March just outside Chicago. I wish you all a good summer. Phil Stone 2 New Membership Arrangements The Executive Committee has decided not to renew its contract with RIMMS Ltd., who have for a number of years been responsible for handling the Society’s membership administration and distribution of the journals. This will now be undertaken with immediate effect by an in-house Membership Manager and a new mailing house. This move has enabled us to make considerable savings without compromising efficiency; indeed in many respects efficiency will be enhanced. Why the change? There are two principal reasons: 1. We need to provide members with an efficient and cost-effective membership service. It was felt that our future plans would be best achieved by bringing the function in house with a dedicated manager. The Executive Committee is confident that the changes being made will result in a considerably improved and more cost-effective service to our members. 2. We need a membership database that can provide more comprehensive and up-to-date infor- mation about membership statistics and profiles. Such information is necessary to enable the Executive Committee to manage the business of the Society effectively. With the change in the management of our membership administration we also have a new database designed specifically to meet the needs of the Society. The Membership Manager The Membership Manager is the first point of contact for all matters relating to the administra- tion of our membership. This includes processing of new applications, receiving subscriptions, amending members’ records and dealing with any membership problems or issues. Rosemary Waxman will continue her role as the Membership Liaison Officer, which will enable the Execu- tive Committee effectively to monitor the contract with the Membership Manager. Consistent with our aim of improving the level of service to members, the Membership Man- ager will be required to acknowledge and respond to all correspondence, with the exception of receipts for subscriptions, within 21 days. It is sometimes quicker and cheaper to respond to que- ries by email or telephone so please always include these details with your correspondence. Contact details for the Membership Manager are as follows: PO Box 1133 Bedford MK43 7ZX E-mail: [email protected] Every effort has been made to ensure a smooth implementation of the new system. However, if you do experience any problems please be patient and contact the Membership Manager with the details so that the matter can be resolved. Helping Us To Help You There are two important ways you can contribute to the efficient running of our membership ser- vices: 1. Always advise the Membership Manager of any changes to your personal details. This appl- ies even if you have informed another officer of such a change. It cannot always be assumed in the course of things that these changes will automatically be relayed to the Membership Manager. So the message is: always inform the manager directly. 2. Please pay your subscription promptly. We treat any members who have not renewed by the end of the calendar year as lapsed and they are suspended from our mailing list. Reminder letters are issued but this of course involves additional cost to the Society. It would also be a 3 great help if you were able to pay your subscription by standing order. This involves lower administrative costs to the Society and less work for you. A standing-order form to complete can be found with this issue of the Bulletin. New Payment Method We are also investigating a new method of making subscription payments. We are in discussion with our bankers, HSBC, to see if we can offer an on-line secure payment system. The new ser- vice would initially be available for subscriptions only but it could eventually be extended to cover purchases from the sales department. The Society website will keep members informed of developments here. Information About You As part of the general review of membership we took the opportunity to look at the sort of infor- mation we hold about members. The conclusion was that we do not hold enough. But don’t be alarmed! We only want to know the sort of things that are relevant to membership of an historical society and contribute to the successful management of Society business. How do we make use of additional information? A good example followed the last revision of the membership application form. This revision included a request for the applicant’s date of birth, which has allowed us to profile the age range of new members. The profile indicated that we are not attracting younger members, particularly those under 30.

  • Martyrology 12 09 19
    Martyrology An Anglican Martyrology - for the British Isles 1 of 160 Martyrology Introduction The base text is the martyrology compiled by Fr. Hugh Feiss, OSB. Copyright © 2008 by the Monastery of the Ascension, Jerome, ID 83338 and available online at the website of the Monastery of Christ in the Desert. The calendars of each of the three Anglican churches of the British isles contain varied group commemorations, I suggest these entries are read only in the province where they are observed and have indicated that by the use of italics and brackets. However, people, particularly in the Church of England, are woefully ignorant of the history of the other Anglican churches of our islands and it would be good if all entries for the islands are used in each province. The Roman dates are also indicated where these vary from Anglican ones but not all those on the Roman Calendar have an entry. The introductions to the saints and celebrations in the Anglican calendars in England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales in Exciting Holiness, ed. Brother Tristam SSF, The Canterbury Press, 1997, have been added where a saint did not already appear in the martyrology. These have been adapted to indicate the place and date of death at the beginning, as is traditional at the reading of the martyrology. For the place of death I have generally relied on Wikipedia. For Irish, Welsh and Scottish celebrations not appearing in Exciting Holiness I have used the latest edition of Celebrating the Saints, Canterbury Press, 2004. These entries are generally longer than appear in martyrologies and probably need editing down even more than I have done if they are to be read liturgically.

  • Saint Richard of Chichester
    Saint Richard of Chichester SAINT OF THE DAY 03-04-2020 Generous with the poor and aware of the immense value of the Mass, the Englishman Saint Richard of Chichester (1197-1253) defended the Church from the king's interference and promoted a robust reform of the clergy in his diocese. From his early youth he learned to toil. He was soon orphaned of both his parents and had to work hard on his farm with his brother. His friends tried to arrange his marriage to a noblewoman, but he declined the proposal. He studied and taught at Oxford, where he had St. Edmund of Abingdon as his tutor. He then lived in Paris and Bologna, where he distinguished himself for his expertise in canon law; in Italy he also refused a second marriage proposal. He returned to England in 1235. Two years later Edmund, who in the meantime had become Archbishop of Canterbury, summoned him to his side as Chancellor. Richard then followed him into French exile; and from him, who died in 1240, he inherited a chalice destined to become his symbol and to give a new direction to his life. He decided to become a priest, studied theology with the Dominicans in Orleans and was ordained at the age of 45. He returned home again, acting for some time as parish priest. Blessed Boniface of Savoy appointed him bishop of Chichester, against the favourite candidate of King Henry III, considered ignorant in theology. Irritated, the sovereign confiscated all the goods of Richard’s episcopal see for about two years.

  • The Reading Abbey Formulary (Berkshire Record Office, D/EZ 176/1)
    The Reading Abbey Formulary (Berkshire Record Office, D/EZ 176/1) Brian Kemp University of Reading In 2013 the Berkshire Record Office took possession of a small, neat parchment volume, bound in eighteenth-century vellum, which has become known as the Reading Abbey Formulary. It constitutes one of the most important acquisitions made by the Record Office for many years, and I shall say more later about how it came about. Although one cannot be absolutely certain that it is from Reading Abbey—it does not, for example, bear the usual Reading Abbey ex libris inscription: ‘Hic est liber Sancte Marie de Rading’. Quem qui celaverit vel fraudem de eo fecerit anathema sit ’, or any other medieval mark of provenance1 - a close analysis of the contents shows beyond all doubt that it was compiled either in and for the abbey or, at least, for a lawyer or senior scribe working there. As such, it was one of the small handful of Reading Abbey manuscript volumes still in private hands before it was purchased by the Record Office. It is also the only major Reading Abbey manuscript ever acquired by the Record Office, and it is therefore fitting and gratifying that after nearly five centuries since the abbey’s dissolution it has returned to the town where it was created. A number of medieval English formularies survive from monasteries, cathedrals and other corporate bodies. They form a very varied group, both in structure and in content, and were certainly not compiled in accordance with a standard plan. As far as I know, all are unique with no duplicate copies.2 The Reading example is a most interesting and valuable addition to their number.
