To Knowe a Gentilman‟ Men and Gentry Culture in Fifteenth- Century Yorkshire „To Knowe a Gentilman‟ Men and Gentry Culture in Fifteenth- Century Yorkshire Alison James PhD Centre for Medieval Studies University of York September 2012 2 Abstract This is a study of gentry culture, specifically the culture of gentry males in fifteenth century Yorkshire. Its aim is to examine what it meant to be a gentleman in this period, looking at how gentry males defined themselves as gentlemen, what was expected of them and what they expected of others. A single county has been chosen to allow for more detailed examination of the evidence than would be possible in a wider study, with this county in particular chosen for the richness and variety of its sources. The range and quality of sources is important, for this is an interdisciplinary study which makes used of a varied collection of evidence in order to gain the fullest picture possible of gentry culture in this period. Through a series of case studies, each focusing on a particular piece, or collection of pieces, of evidence to include chancery documents, wills, letters, art and architecture, I will identify several themes integral to the construction of identity for gentry males. In looking specifically at gentlemen, rather than gentlewomen or the gentry in general, this thesis will consider questions not only of status but also of gender, a combination of factors that have seldom been considered in previous scholarship. It is hoped that this this new perspective, combined with the interdisciplinary nature of the study, something that has also seldom been been attempted, will prove useful in gaining a greater understanding of what it meant to be a gentleman in late medieval England. By extension, it is intended that this will contribute towards a greater understanding of late medieval society as a whole. 3 Contents Page no.

In particular I would like to thank Jeremy Goldberg and Tim Ayers, who have both been a constant source of support and assistance. Between them they have spent more hours reading, commenting and advising on this thesis, and encouraging me to stick at it, than it is possible to count. I would also like to thank the other members of the University of York who have given me the benefit of their specialist knowledge, in particular Linne Mooney for her insight on fifteenth-century manuscripts. My gratitude also goes to Philip Lankaster, who gave me much helpful advice on tomb monuments. I would also like to thank the members of staff at the University of Leicester whose assistance, particularly at the start of this undertaking, has been invaluable, James Bothwell, and Norman Housley. A final word of appreciation must go to my long- suffering family, who have had to put up with me and my very narrow outlook on life for the duration of my study. This thesis would not have been possible without all the people who helped to make it happen, and I am deeply grateful to each and every one of you. Author’s Declaration I declare that all of the work presented within this thesis is my own and confirm that the work of others has been fully referenced. No part of this thesis has previously been published in any form. 10 ‘To Knowe a Gentilman’ Men and Gentry Culture in Fifteenth-Century Yorkshire Introduction In August of 1497 Sir Ralph Eure, deputy steward of Pickering, was riding towards Brompton with a small party of friends. On the way he met a group of servants belonging to the household of Sir Roger Hastings, a man with considerable local influence and a strong sense of his own importance. On several occasions in the recent past the two men had clashed, Eure being quite determined to enforce his authority and Hastings equally determined to flout it. By 1497 the matter had made its way into the law courts, beginning when Hastings claimed that his manor had been attacked by a party of more than four hundred men led by Eure. This was followed by a string of accusations and counter-accusations as each side strove to prove that they were in the right.

  • Parish of Skipton*
    294 HISTORY OF CRAVEN. PARISH OF SKIPTON* HAVE reserved for this parish, the most interesting part of my subject, a place in Wharfdale, in order to deduce the honour and fee of Skipton from Bolton, to which it originally belonged. In the later Saxon times Bodeltone, or Botltunef (the town of the principal mansion), was the property of Earl Edwin, whose large possessions in the North were among the last estates in the kingdom which, after the Conquest, were permitted to remain in the hands of their former owners. This nobleman was son of Leofwine, and brother of Leofric, Earls of Mercia.J It is somewhat remarkable that after the forfeiture the posterity of this family, in the second generation, became possessed of these estates again by the marriage of William de Meschines with Cecilia de Romille. This will be proved by the following table:— •——————————;——————————iLeofwine Earl of Mercia§=j=......... Leofric §=Godiva Norman. Edwin, the Edwinus Comes of Ermenilda=Ricardus de Abrineis cognom. Domesday. Goz. I———— Matilda=.. —————— I Ranulph de Meschines, Earl of Chester, William de Meschines=Cecilia, daughter and heir of Robert Romille, ob. 1129. Lord of Skipton. But it was before the Domesday Survey that this nobleman had incurred the forfeiture; and his lands in Craven are accordingly surveyed under the head of TERRA REGIS. All these, consisting of LXXVII carucates, lay waste, having never recovered from the Danish ravages. Of these-— [* The parish is situated partly in the wapontake of Staincliffe and partly in Claro, and comprises the townships of Skipton, Barden, Beamsley, Bolton Abbey, Draughton, Embsay-with-Eastby, Haltoneast-with-Bolton, and Hazlewood- with-Storithes ; and contains an area of 24,7893.

Boroughbridge Striders is a new (May 2019), experimental, informal walking group that focuses on walks in the 12-20 miles range, mainly in the local area When/how did it start? It was by started by John Helliwell shortly after the Boroughbridge Easter Walking Festival of 2019. 8 people, having completed the 17 mile “River Round” walk in just over 6 hours indicated that similar walks might be attractive and desirable in the future, based on a perceived interest in “longer walks”. What are the features of Boroughbridge Striders, apart from the length of the walks? • It’s for fit, experienced, adult walkers, not for beginners or children • The pace might be described as “brisk”; there are few, if any, stops, apart from a brief break for lunch (packed) • Pubs and café stops are not on the menu; neither are talks en route connected with points of human and geographical interest and local history • As far as possible, the walks take place in the Boroughbridge/Lower Ure Valley area with minimal dependence on motor vehicles and the need travel by car to distant start points. We start and finish at the same point Is there an underlying philosophy? Not really; but maintaining personal fitness through walking is at the heart of what Boroughbridge Striders is about.

The original idea was to pull together lots of old photographs and postcards and publish a Topcliffe scrapbook. However, it seemed to me to be also an opportunity to have another look at the history of Topcliffe and try to dig a little further into the knowledge than had been written in other histories. This then is the latest in a line of Topcliffe's histories produced by such people as J. B.
