It has not been submitted for any other degree or professional qualification. NB: A small amount of material expands on work I produced for my MSc dissertation in Medieval History (The University of Edinburgh, 2012). The text is different from any work submitted toward the MSc qualification. Abstract This thesis explores space and gender in twenty-three Latin saints’ vitae from the thirteenth-century Low Countries. In the midst of urbanisation and rejuvenating apostolic zeal, the vitae emerged from a milieu in which groups of women who were unable or unwilling to pursue a traditional religious vocation chose to live a vita mixta, a combination of the contemplative and active life, while remaining in the world. Recent scholarship has moved away from viewing the women through the lens of institutionalisation. However, continued focus on the women’s ecclesiastical status and the labels used to describe them has implicitly maintained a lay/monastic binary, in which the women are compared against the monastic paradigm. The twenty-three vitae under examination detail the lives of both women and men (whose vitae offer a comparison) from different backgrounds and vocations. This wide-ranging selection of texts allows for a broad comparative textual analysis in order to consider where and how the women and men enacted solitary piety and communal devotion. Taking geometric space as its organising principle the thesis considers the dominant cultural configurations of space and its fluidity, noting how space could be transformed to suit the spiritual needs of individuals and groups. Solitude could be achieved in a variety of different settings from the bedchamber to wilderness while spaces such as streets, windows and cells could facilitate communal devotion. This connected women and men from different religious backgrounds. There are some surprising finds: in the vitae entry points such as windows and doors were fundamental to womens’ communal piety and women sought solitude in the wilderness more frequently than their male counterparts. Uncovering women from the shadows of male-authored texts remains a pertinent issue in histories of medieval women. Ultimately, this thesis’ adoption of a spatial framework provides a different avenue to explore the vitae and primarily the women described within. Lay Summary This thesis explores twenty-three Latin saints’ biographies from the thirteenth- century Low Countries. The biographies detail the lives of women and men who lived in different religious settings. In order to identify shared religious behaviour and textual similarities, this thesis examines how the women and men described in the biographies achieved solitude and enacted communal piety in different spaces. The saints’ biographies emerged from an environment in which groups of women who were unable or unwilling to pursue a traditional religious vocation chose to live a mixed life of active devotion and contemplative piety. Recent scholarship has continued to focus on the women’s ecclesiastical status, thereby implicitly maintaining a division between holy laywomen and monastic women. The twenty- three saints’ biographies under examination detail the lives of both women and men (whose vitae offer a comparison) from different backgrounds and vocations. This wide-ranging selection of texts allows for a broad comparative textual analysis in order to consider where and how the women and men enacted solitary piety and communal devotion.

For this, I am indebted to my supervisor Dr Cordelia Beattie. Without Dr Beattie’s continued patience, encouragement and guidance, this project would not only have been impossible, but inconceivable. I am also obliged to Dr Bill Aird, particularly for reading and commenting on my earliest chapter drafts and reminding me not to lose sight of the bigger picture. Throughout the course of this project, I have been lucky to receive support and advice from a number of kind-hearted souls. Thanks must be extended to Dr Steve Boardman and Dr Rick Sowerby for commenting on chapter drafts and to Dr Zubin Mistry and Dr Kirsty Day for their generous words and advice. In my first year of postgraduate study I was fortunate to meet Anne Harrison and Christoph Otte, whose continued friendship has made university life far more enjoyable. I am also appreciative to all those involved in the Medieval Worlds undergraduate course: Bill, Rick, Zubin, Kirsty, Malin Sandell, Rachel Davis, Jeremy Piercy, Dr Stephen McDowell and Annabel Stobie. I had the pleasure of tutoring on this course during the difficult time of writing up. I was reminded, at a crucial point, why I am so fascinated by the medieval past. This project is indebted to Dr Alison More, whose support has ranged from clarifying points, recommending beguinages to visit and sharing work. Likewise, I am grateful to Martinus Cawley for kindly sharing his edited notes on several Latin vitae. Thanks must also be extended to the HCA postgraduate administration staff at Edinburgh, who responded with kindness to even my most tedious of questions. The Arts and Historical Research Council funded this thesis. I, like many, am grateful for their continued support of academic research. Thank you to the staff at Edinburgh University Library, the National Library of Scotland, the Bristol University Special Collection and the British Library, who have made researching this thesis so much easier. The vast bulk of this thesis was written on an 11-inch laptop. Over the course of four years, my small laptop and I moved house more than half a dozen times. While life has been disruptive, there have been some things that were constant. My deepest love goes to my family, Sandra Shepherd, Mick Allchin, Duncan Shepherd and Kerri Maltby. Without your love, support, friendship and humour this thesis would not have been written. Thank you to Gregory Williams for your support and love, particularly in the last few months. I am incredibly lucky to have Jonathan Anderson, Clarissa Bee, Jake Bee, Malcolm Benzie, Gerard Black, Neil Cammock, Katie Chapple, Laura Doherty, Anna Jenner, Colin Kirby, Sharon Kirby, Kate Lazda, Alex Livingstone, Rose McConnachie, Chris McGarry, David MacGregor, Bart Owl, Emily Roff, Alun Scurlock, Johanna Scurlock, Leah Weare, Nina Weare, and Owen Curtis Williams in my life. Now that this project is as complete as it can be, I am looking forward to spending more time with you. Further and final thanks must go to Sandra Shepherd. From walking round beguinages with me in Belgium, assisting with French translations, proof reading and helping with formatting, your support knows no bounds. To you this thesis is lovingly dedicated. i List of Maps, Images and Plans Map 1.1 The thirteenth-century Low Countries Map 1.2 Dioceses in the southern Low Countries c.1150- c.1550 Map 1.3 The abbey of Villers, with principality borders from c.1150-1200 Map 3.1 The landscape surrounding Villers abbey Image 2.1 Villers abbey church Image 2.2 Wijngaard beguinage founded by the Countesses Margaret and Joan of Flanders in 1245 Plan 2.1 Claustral plan of Villers abbey in the thirteenth century Plan 3.1 Reconstruction of Villers abbey in the thirteenth century ii Abbreviations AASS Acta Sanctorum (Antwerp, 1643-) BHL Bibliotheca hagiographica latina antiquae et mediae aetatis, 2 vols (Brussels, 1949) BHL NS Bibliotheca hagiographica latina antiquae et mediae aetatis, Novum supplementem (Brussels, 1986) BR (Brussel/Bruxelles, Koninklijke Bibliotheek/Bibliothèque royal) Cîteaux Cîteaux: Comentarii Cisterciensis CV Chronica Villariensis monasterii, in MGH SS, 25, ed.

  • The Antiphonary of Bangor and Its Musical Implications
    The Antiphonary of Bangor and its Musical Implications by Helen Patterson A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Music University of Toronto © Copyright by Helen Patterson 2013 The Antiphonary of Bangor and its Musical Implications Helen Patterson Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Music University of Toronto 2013 Abstract This dissertation examines the hymns of the Antiphonary of Bangor (AB) (Antiphonarium Benchorense, Milan, Biblioteca Ambrosiana C. 5 inf.) and considers its musical implications in medieval Ireland. Neither an antiphonary in the true sense, with chants and verses for the Office, nor a book with the complete texts for the liturgy, the AB is a unique Irish manuscript. Dated from the late seventh-century, the AB is a collection of Latin hymns, prayers and texts attributed to the monastic community of Bangor in Northern Ireland. Given the scarcity of information pertaining to music in early Ireland, the AB is invaluable for its literary insights. Studied by liturgical, medieval, and Celtic scholars, and acknowledged as one of the few surviving sources of the Irish church, the manuscript reflects the influence of the wider Christian world. The hymns in particular show that this form of poetical expression was significant in early Christian Ireland and have made a contribution to the corpus of Latin literature. Prompted by an earlier hypothesis that the AB was a type of choirbook, the chapters move from these texts to consider the monastery of Bangor and the cultural context from which the manuscript emerges. As the Irish peregrini are known to have had an impact on the continent, and the AB was recovered in ii Bobbio, Italy, it is important to recognize the hymns not only in terms of monastic development, but what they reveal about music.

    SCB text 14/1 5/3/02 10:06 am Page 51 S & CB (2002), 14, 51–77 0954–4194 JAN J. BOERSEMA Why is Francis of Assisi the patron saint of ecologists? In 1967 the historian Lynn White proposed St. Francis as a patron saint for ecologists. In this article I subject his recommendation to a critical analysis. I set out by reviewing the arguments presented by White in favour of Francis as ecology’s patron saint and go on to consider whether White’s portrait of St. Francis is accurate. This takes us back to the medieval setting of St. Francis’ life and to written sources of that era, and brings us to a consideration of the difference between saints and ecologists/ environmental scientists. My conclusion from this comparison is that this medieval man’s outlook on the natural world is realms apart from that held by practitioners of modern ecology and environmental science, but perhaps less far removed from the perspectives of self-styled ‘deep ecologists’. Has Francis then rightly become the patron saint of those for whom ecology (in the sense of the environmental issue) has become a new religion, but wrongly for ‘ordinary’ ecologists and other environmental scientists? Can St. Francis still serve as a source of inspiration for the latter, or are they not in need of a patron? Finally, the question of whether this is more than merely a historical or terminological issue is addressed. Keywords: St. Francis; patron saint; saints and nature; ecology; environmental scientist; spiritual life. Introduction “I propose Francis as a patron saint for ecologists”.

  • Selected Ancestors of the Chicago Rodger's

Pepin shown standing Pepin le Bref Baldwin II, Margrave of Flanders 2 Continental Ancestors Before Hastings Saints, nuns, bishops, brewers, dukes and even kings among them David Anderson March 12, 2016 Abstract Early on, our motivation for studying the ancestors of the Chicago Rodger’s was to determine if, according to rumor, they are descendants of any of the Scottish Earls of Bothwell. We relied mostly on two resources on the Internet: Ancestry.com and Scotlandspeople.gov.uk. We have been subscribers of both. Finding the ancestral lines connecting the Chicago Rodger’s to one or more of the Scottish Earls of Bothwell was the most time consuming and difficult undertaking in generating the results shown in a later book of this series of three books. It shouldn’t be very surprising that once we found Earls in Scotland we would also find Kings and Queens, which we did. The ancestral line that connects to the Earls of Bothwell goes through Helen Heath (1831-1902) who was the mother and/or grandmother of the Chicago Rodger’s She was the paternal grandmother of my grandfather, Alfred Heath Rodger. Within this Heath ancestral tree we found four lines of ancestry without any evident errors or ambiguities. Three of those four lines reach just one Earl of Bothwell, the 1st, and the fourth line reaches the 1st, 2nd and 3rd.

THREE WOMEN SAINTS IN THE THIRTEENTH CENTURY: MENTALITIES AND ROLES Ulrike Strasser, M.A. Western Michigan University, 1990 This case study analyzes the lives of three thirteenth-century female saints, Lutgard of Aywiferes, Margaret of Ypres, and Christina Mirabilis, and places them against the broader theoretical frame of quantitative studies on the subject sainthood. The focus of the study is the pursuit of holiness as well as the perception of holiness. Both, pursuit and perception, serve as the point of departure for a discussion of the mentalities and the social realities which the women’s sainthood reflects.
