Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book tells the story of Malmesbury Abbey in Wiltshire from the time of Aldhelm in the late seventh century to the Dissolution in 1539, using the particularly rich sources that survive for the Abbey from throughout the Middle Ages. It is an institution which has, in different ways, a national significance. The community produced two eminent writers: Aldhelm and William of Malmesbury. The Abbey was chosen as the mausoleum of Æthelstan, first king of all England. It was the setting for the marriage in 1015 of Edmund Ironside in defiance of his father, Æthelred 'the Unready'. After the Conquest Malmesbury was patronised by Queen Matilda of Scotland, wife of Henry I. The future Henry II was present in 1153 when a massacre of monks and townsfolk took place in the Abbey church.Although royal patronage dried up after the twelfth century, the Abbey remained an important institution for the remainder of the Middle Ages. The community took the side of the king and the Despensers during the violent conflict between Edward II and his baronial opponents. Largely unexamined sources will be used to shed light on abbots such as William of Colerne who transformed the economic fortunes of the Abbey and John of Tintern who was accused by Wiltshire juries of terrorising the area by his many acts of criminality.n Edward II and his baronial opponents.

Download or read book William of Malmesbury and the Ethics of History written by Sigbjørn Olsen Sønnesyn and published by Boydell Press. This book was released on 2012 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "William of Malmesbury, arguably the greatest English historian of the twelfth century, repeatedly emphasises that the primary purpose of all literary and intellectual activities is to provide moral instruction for the reader, the most famous of his statements to this effect being found in his monumental work Gesta Regum Anglorum, where he categorises history as a sub-discipline of ethics. However, modern studies have chosen to focus on other aspects of William's oeuvre and tended to dismiss such claims as perfunctory nods to a pious commonplace. This book differs from recent orthodoxy by being based on the proposition that medieval professions of the moral aims of historiography are in fact genuine. It seeks to read William's celebrated historical works in the light of his devotional and didactic texts, and in the context of the religious, intellectual and literary traditions to which he expressed his allegiance. He also demonstrates how William's conception of ethics forms a constitutive element of his historical output. The resulting image of William shows a committed monk and man of his time, placing his extraordinary learning at the service of his culture, his society and his faith."--Publisher's website.
