    hereward and the Barony of Bourne file:///C:/EDrive/Medieval Texts/Articles/Geneaology/hereward.htm Lincolnshire History and Archaeology, 29 (1994), 7-10. Hereward 'the Wake' and the Barony of Bourne: a Reassessment of a Fenland Legend [1] Hereward, generally known as 'the Wake', is second only to Robin Hood in the pantheon of English heroes. From at least the early twelfth century his deeds were celebrated in Anglo-Norman aristocratic circles, and he was no doubt the subject of many a popular tale and song from an early period. [2] But throughout the Middle Ages Hereward's fame was local, being confined to the East Midlands and East Anglia. [3] It was only in the nineteenth century that the rebel became a truly national icon with the publication of Charles Kingsley novel Hereward the Wake .[4] The transformation was particularly Victorian: Hereward is portrayed as a prototype John Bull, a champion of the English nation. The assessment of historians has generally been more sober. Racial overtones have persisted in many accounts, but it has been tacitly accepted that Hereward expressed the fears and frustrations of a landed community under threat. Paradoxically, however, in the light of the nature of that community, the high social standing that the tradition has accorded him has been denied. [5] The earliest recorded notice of Hereward is the almost contemporary annal for 1071 in the D version of the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle. A Northern recension probably produced at York,[6] its account of the events in the fenland are terse. It records the plunder of Peterborough in 1070 'by the men that Bishop Æthelric [late of Durham] had excommunicated because they had taken there all that he had', and the rebellion of Earls Edwin and Morcar in the following year.

  • Castor Village – Overview 1066 to 2000
    Chapter 5 Castor Village – Overview 1066 to 2000 Introduction One of the earliest recorded descriptions of Castor as a village is by a travelling historian, William Camden who, in 1612, wrote: ‘The Avon or Nen river, running under a beautiful bridge at Walmesford (Wansford), passes by Durobrivae, a very ancient city, called in Saxon Dormancaster, took up a great deal of ground on each side of the river in both counties. For the little village of Castor which stands one mile from the river, seems to have been part of it, by the inlaid chequered pavements found there. And doubtless it was a place of more than ordinary note; in the adjoining fields (which instead of Dormanton they call Normangate) such quantities of Roman coins are thrown up you would think they had been sewn. Ermine Street, known as the forty foot way or The Way of St Kyneburgha, now known as Lady Connyburrow’s Way must have been up towards Water Newton, if one may judge from, it seems to have been paved with a sort of cubical bricks and tiles.’ [1] By Camden’s time, Castor was a village made up of a collection of tenant farms and cottages, remaining much the same until the time of the Second World War. The village had developed out of the late Saxon village of the time of the Domesday Book, that village having itself grown up among the ruins of the extensive Roman villa and estate that preceded it. The pre-conquest (1066) settlement of Castor is described in earlier chapters.

  • Colleague, Critic, and Sometime Counselor to Thomas Becket
    JOHN OF SALISBURY: COLLEAGUE, CRITIC, AND SOMETIME COUNSELOR TO THOMAS BECKET By L. Susan Carter A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of History–Doctor of Philosophy 2021 ABSTRACT JOHN OF SALISBURY: COLLEAGUE, CRITIC, AND SOMETIME COUNSELOR TO THOMAS BECKET By L. Susan Carter John of Salisbury was one of the best educated men in the mid-twelfth century. The beneficiary of twelve years of study in Paris under the tutelage of Peter Abelard and other scholars, John flourished alongside Thomas Becket in the Canterbury curia of Archbishop Theobald. There, his skills as a writer were of great value. Having lived through the Anarchy of King Stephen, he was a fierce advocate for the liberty of the English Church. Not surprisingly, John became caught up in the controversy between King Henry II and Thomas Becket, Henry’s former chancellor and successor to Theobald as archbishop of Canterbury. Prior to their shared time in exile, from 1164-1170, John had written three treatises with concern for royal court follies, royal pressures on the Church, and the danger of tyrants at the core of the Entheticus de dogmate philosophorum , the Metalogicon , and the Policraticus. John dedicated these works to Becket. The question emerges: how effective was John through dedicated treatises and his letters to Becket in guiding Becket’s attitudes and behavior regarding Church liberty? By means of contemporary communication theory an examination of John’s writings and letters directed to Becket creates a new vista on the relationship between John and Becket—and the impact of John on this martyred archbishop.

  • Chapter 4 the Anglian Period: the Royal Ladies of Castor [1]
    Chapter 4 The Anglian Period: The Royal Ladies of Castor [1] St. Kyneburgha of Castor: from Mercian princess to Northumbrian queen Castor Parish Church stands upon an escarpment, which has been occupied from at least the Roman period. It bears a unique dedication to the seventh-century saint, Kyneburgha or Cyneburh, a Mercian princess and erstwhile queen of Northumbria who, according to local tradition, retired from court in order to establish a nunnery on the site of an abandoned early fourth-century villa. Reliable, near-contemporary information relating to Kyneburgha is limited to a single reference in Venerable Bede’s Historia Ecclesiastica (c. 731), in which she was described as the sister of Peada, King of the Middle Angles, and the wife of Alhfrith, a Christian prince of Northumbria [2]. From this statement we may deduce that she was also the daughter of the unrepentant heathen king, Penda of Mercia (c. 626-c. 655), and his consort, Cynewise, whose stronghold was in the Tamworth area of the Trent Valley [3]. All subsequent references to Kyneburgha are either of post-Conquest date or survive only in the form of twelfth-century copies and, consequently, are much less trustworthy [4]. Nor are there any archaeological finds to substantiate Kyneburgha’s relationship with the Castor site. However, by examining all of the available sources, in conjunction with place-name and sculptural evidence, it may be possible to gain an insight into the life and times of this remarkable lady. Kyneburgha was born during an era when England was ruled by a few aristocratic families, both Christian and pagan, who intermarried in attempts to form alliances and to found dynasties in rival provinces.

The office may also be given as an honorary title to a clergyman who is not the head of a monastery. The female equivalent is abbess. An abbey is a complex of buildings used by members of a religious order under the governance of an abbot or abbess.

  • Nagano, Yoshio Citation 英文学評
    SOME SYNTACTIC INNOVATIONS IN THE FINAL PART Title OF THE PETERBOROUGH CHRONICLE Author(s) Nagano, Yoshio Citation 英文学評論 (1970), 26: [1]-14 Issue Date 1970-12 URL https://doi.org/10.14989/RevEL_26_(1) Right Type Departmental Bulletin Paper Textversion publisher Kyoto University SOME SYNTACTIC INNOVATIONS IN THE FINAL PART OF THE PETERBOROUGH CHRONICLE by Yoshio Nagano I About seventy miles of a bee-line from London takes us to the city of Peterborough, Northamptonshire. Historical evidence goes to show that the old monastery called Medeshamstede " Mede's homestead ", gave rise to its namesake for place only to be destroyed by the Danes, and that the new one became knownas Burg "the town or borough ", later Peterborough from the dedication of the abbey.(1) Setting aside whatever toponymic interest arising from it, here a matter of primary concern is the chronicle compiled in that mon- astery, hence the name of the 'Peterborough Chronicle'. The text of the annals which form part of the noted Anglo-Saxon Chronicle is now preserved as MS Laud 636 in the Bodleian Library at Oxford. The graphoanalysis of the manuscript shows that it is reducible to a threefold division, that is 1070-1121, 1122-1131 and 1132-1154. Undoubtedly historical value lies in the established fact that actual events were recorded often in the form of first-hand information by (1) See Eilert Ekwall, The Concise Oxford Dictionary of English Place Names (4th ed.) (Oxford, 1966) -I- various scribes at the monastery during the twelfth century, and especially in terms of the history of English, it is of paramount sig- nificance that the last division (or the so-called final continuation) best illustrates the state of the language intermediate between Old and Middle English.

  • The Cult of St Æthelwold and Its Context, C. 984 - C
    The Cult of St Æthelwold and its Context, c. 984 - c. 1400 Rebecca Browett Institute of Historical Research School of Advanced Study, University of London A Thesis Submitted for the Degree of Ph.D in History September 2016 1 Declaration This thesis is submitted to the University of London in support of my application for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. I, Rebecca Browett, hereby confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own, carried out during the course of my studies. The copyright of this thesis rests with the author. Quotation from it is permitted, provided that full acknowledgement is made. This thesis may not be reproduced without the consent of the author. Signed: Date: 2 Abstract This thesis documents the cult of St Æthelwold, a tenth-century bishop of Winchester, from its inception (c. 984) until the late Middle Ages. During his life, Æthelwold was an authoritative figure who reformed monasteries in southern England. Those communities subsequently venerated him as a saint and this thesis examines his cult at those centres. In particular, it studies how his cult enabled monasteries to forge their identities and to protect their rights from avaricious bishops. It analyses the changing levels of veneration accorded to Æthelwold over a five hundred year period and compares this with other well-known saints’ cults. It uses diverse evidence from hagiographies, chronicles, chartularies, poems, church dedications, wall paintings, and architecture. Very few studies have attempted to chart the development of an early English saint's cult over such a long time period, and my multidisciplinary approach, using history, art, and literary studies, offers insight into the changing role of native saints in the English church and society over the course of the Middle Ages.

  • The Manuscripts of Walter of Whittlesey, Monk of Peterborough
    Intelligent by Design: The Manuscripts of Walter of Whittlesey, Monk of Peterborough Julian Luxford It goes without saying that no structurally complex manuscript is visible all at once. At any given time, a single opening, or membrane, is usually all there is to see: this gives rise to a quandary familiar to exhibition curators, and one which probably taxed people in the Middle Ages as well. But the designers of medieval books and rolls were nevertheless concerned with integrity of appearance, whether they sought it through similarity, dissonance (as with the intermittent addition of rubrics or illumination) or a combination of the two. They realized that, over and above specific instances of looking, the viewer retained a mental image which was cumulative and could add up to a meaningful impression of the whole object. Where the quality of this impression was thought to matter, for example owing to the significance of a patron, text or function, special efforts of design were often made. This is clearest in the case of high-grade illuminated manuscripts, although scholars of these often focus on the aestheticized ‘moments’ per se, rather than the place of those moments in the structure of the whole. It is less obvious in other cases, and the relation of overall design to the ideas of makers offers much scope for further thought where decoration is qualitatively indifferent or non-existent. This article is not devoted to a general consideration of manuscript design, but attempts a contribution to the subject through analysis of two particular fourteenth-century manuscripts – Add. MS.

  • THE STAMFORD and PETERBOROUGH MINTS STAMFORD, the Greater Part of Which Now Lies in Lincolnshire, Originally Consisted of Two Se
    THE STAMFORD AND PETERBOROUGH MINTS By WILLIAM C. WELLS PART I STAMFORD, the greater part of which now lies in Lincolnshire, originally consisted of two separate towns, one in Northamp- tonshire, known down to the fifteenth century as Stam- ford-south-of-the-river and afterwards as Stamford Baron,1 Stamford-beyond-the-bridge, or Stamford St. Martin's, and the other in Lincolnshire; the two places being separated by the river Welland. By the time of the Domesday Survey, however, they had been united for local assessment purposes, but in other ways they were still distinct "burhs".2 There appears to have been considerable jealousy between the two places, and in early documents we frequently read of quarrels and disturbances and even suits at law between the inhabi- tants of Stamford, Lincolnshire, and those of Stamford Baron, Northamptonshire.3 The place-name Stanford or Stamford is derived from Anglo-Saxon Stan-ford, "Stone-ford", denoting the stone paved-ford by which the river Welland was crossed prior to the erection of the bridge connecting the two Stamfords and also connecting the counties of Northampton and Lincoln. The earliest record of Stamford is of the year 449 when, 1 It received that appellation about the middle of the fifteenth century, when the suffix was added probably on account of its being part of those lands which the Abbot of Burh held per baroniam. 2 Richard Butcher, Town Clerk of Stamford, in his Survey and A ntiquitie of the Town of Stamford, 1646, writing of his time says: "The Towne and Parish of Stamford-Baron, in the County of Northampton; a place though not subject to the Mace of Stamford government, yet joyned to the same in all Taxes, Subsidies, Fifteenths and other payments to the State amounting to a fifth part of a full mulct." 3 Madox, Firma Burgi, 1726, p.
