Book excerpt: Excerpt from Abstract of the Bailiffs' Account of Monastic and Other Estates in the County of Warwick, Under the Supervision of the Court of Augmentation for the Year Ending at Michaelmas, 1547 The document of which a translation is here given is a Roll (no. 168255 in the Reference Library, Birmingham) Of fine parchment or vellum 1 1; inches wide, by 30 inches long, and consists Of 49 membranes stitched together at the head, and, with the exception Of membranes 12 and 49 is written on both sides in contracted Latin. It should perhaps also be mentioned that some Of the membranes have been slit at the edge of the lower end, and in some cases small pieces have been cut out but so far as I can judge, no writing has been interfered with, and no practical harm done. At the foot Of membrane 49 (the last, and outside mem brane) is stitched a piece of thick Vellum, serving as a cover and protection to the roll; on the outside Of this membrane is inscribed in large letters and abbreviated Latin, the Title, Of which an exact translation is given on page 1 of this Volume.

Download or read book The Dissolution of the Monasteries As Illustrated by the Suppression of the Religious Houses of Staffordshire written by Francis Aidan Hibbert and published by Library of Alexandria. This book was released on 2020-09-28 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is obvious that there remains much to be desired in the way of definiteness and exactness on many points. The following pages are an attempt to do something in this direction by investigating facts and by going to the fountain head. All unsupported statements and mere opinions have been rigorously disregarded: they are generally, and sometimes obviously, guesswork only. The actual figures of authoritative documents alone have been dealt with. In this way it is hoped that some conclusions have been reached which rest upon solid foundations. Only the county of Stafford has been considered. If it be objected that, the work being thus restricted in scope, the results must be of limited application, it may be pointed out that there are compensating advantages. The material is comparatively manageable. The details, bewildering and difficult of explanation though they often are, are comparatively amenable. Acquaintance with localities may sometimes render assistance. The results, therefore, may gain in precision what they lack in range, and though the writer does not suppose he has succeeded, or nearly succeeded, in solving all or many of the problems which arise, yet he hopes that he has been able to accomplish something. Possibly the national aspect of the whole subject must wait for final treatment until the work of local investigators has been completed. Reliable information has been sought on such points as the following: the amount of the monastic wealth, its sources and burdens, the relative proportions from temporal and spiritual sources, the extent to which parish churches were “robbed,” the solvency or otherwise of the religious houses, the extent of their charity, the amount of educational work they carried on, their character as landlords, the part they took in the agricultural changes of the period, the material effects of their suppression, and other subjects of a kindred nature. It must be acknowledged at once that the results vary much in character. The data are often difficult to interpret and are sometimes too scanty to be of much use in drawing general conclusions of any value.
Download or read book Leper Knights written by David Marcombe and published by Boydell & Brewer. This book was released on 2003 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most unusual contributions to the crusading era was the idea of the leper knight - a response to the scourge of leprosy and the shortage of fighting men which beset the Latin kingdom in the twelfth century. The Order of St Lazarus, which saw the idea become a reality, founded establishments across Western Europe to provide essential support for its hospitaller and military vocations. This book explores the important contribution of the English branch of the order, which by 1300 managed a considerable estate from its chief preceptory at Burton Lazars in Leicestershire. Time proved the English Lazarites to be both tough and tenacious, if not always preoccupied with the care of lepers. Following the fall of Acre in 1291 they endured a period of bitter internal conflict, only to emerge reformed and reinvigorated in the fifteenth century. Though these late medieval knights were very different from their twelfth-century predecessors, some ideologies lingered on, though subtly readapted to the requirements of a new age, until the order was finally suppressed by Henry VIII in 1544. The modern refoundation of the order, a charitable institution, dates from 1962. The book uses both documentary and archaeological evidence to provide the first ever account of this little-understood crusading order.DAVID MARCOMBE is Director of the Centre for Local History, University of Nottingham.
